This podcast is the narrated version of my article 3 Soul Soothing Ways To Help Your Clients Overcome A Broken Heart.

We talk of the ‘pain’ of break up and this word is more accurate than you might have realised. When we feel rejected from a relationship, the same parts of the brain that process physical pain become active.

In this episode I talk about:

  • Don’t pretend they don’t hurt
  • Once you’ve really heard them… tell them a story
  • Talk about the relationship in terms of what they have learned from it
