Have you ever felt lost in life, and like you have no purpose, or direction or you don’t know what to do next?

This is a super unsettling place to be in and what you want more than anything is to figure it out as quickly as possible.

However, this places a lot of pressure on you and it’s precisely opposite of what you could be doing that would make the transition less stressful and anxiety-inducing.


This is what we’re talking about in this episode.

* Why we get lost in life
* Why feeling lost is a good place to be
* The best way to move through this time

Many people carry around a tremendous amount of shame and guilt over past experiences that they are still trying to come to terms with in their present day life.


Their feelings of shame and guilt are consuming their thoughts and fueling anxiety with the fear of possible and unlikely repercussions or backlash in the future. It’s also fuels depression.

In this episode we talk about:

* What shame and guilt really is
* Something you may not be aware of that is keeping you in a pattern of depression and anxiety
* What you can do to move beyond the shame and guilt you feel

Besides the healing and coming to terms with the ending of the relationship, when someone you love and care about moves on so quickly it feels like a betrayal because you perceive their moving on to mean that you and the relationship meant nothing to them and that’s hurtful.


But it’s not the truth.


When a relationship that you have emotionally and intimately invested in ends, there is a healing period that needs to happen. Not everyone can or wants to do the work on themselves but that doesn’t mean that the relationship meant nothing to them. Having said that the meaning ones give to their relationship will vary from person to person.


An emotional investment in a relationship doesn't mean that you have been in the relationship for years either. Not surprising at all is that we can become emotionally attached quite quickly but the longer we are in a relationship with someone the deeper our lives become intertwined which means the uncoupling and healing process may need more time.


In this episode I explore:


* What the healing period can provide you,
* Why some people move on to a new relationship, and
* Why it's so hard to let go.

What exactly is the difference between true narcissist behaviour and someone who is selfish and avoidant in their relationships?

The term ‘narcissist’ seems to have become the wide-casting buzz word we now use to describe a person we are in a ‘toxic’ relationship with.

Some people really are narcissists but some people are just selfish, self-absorbed and avoidant.

Some relationships are truly toxic causing psychological distress but some are unhealthy and are not helping us grow and supporting us in life. One can feel very isolated and alone.

The damage a toxic relationship has on one’s mental health is crippling and not something you just get over.


It will seep into the very core of your being, damaging your self-worth, shattering every boundary, stripping away any sense of self, and invoking an incredible amount of guilt and shame.
