Recently I asked listeners this question. "When it comes to a healthy relationship, what is most important for it to thrive?" These are the answers I received. Communication. Respect. Trust. Honesty. Unconditional love. Listening. Validation. Just to name a few. The truth is, whether you're getting into one, getting out of one or still on the lookout…love can be messy. And if we don't do the inner work first, and give ourselves that "in between time", we're setting ourselves up for a rinse and repeat relationship cycle that knows no end. Talk about dirty laundry. On this episode of the HIListically Speaking Podcast, New York Times best selling author and Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Katherine Woodward Thomas shares her own journey on Calling in "The One" and also, how to face a Conscious Uncoupling when things don't work out; a term that put her on the map after Gwenyth Paltrow and Chris Martin's divorce. If you're ready to have a greater understanding about your trauma self versus your true self and be committed to a future that is not fixed on your past, this conversation is a must. You can learn more about Katherine Woodward Thomas, her national best seller, Calling in "The One:" 7 Weeks to Attract the Love of Your Life; and her New York Times best seller, Conscious Uncoupling: 5 Steps to Living Happily Even After or any of her workshops, by visit her website https://katherinewoodwardthomas.com/.
