TLS #108 with Katherine Woodward Thomas: Consciously Completing a Relationship

This episode is very near and dear to my heart and I have been looking forward to sharing this with you, my dear friends, for a while now. For many reasons which are explained in this episode, I have asked bestselling author, Katherine Woodward Thomas, on the show to share her new book, Conscious Uncoupling, which lays out her five step process to consciously uncoupling and living happily even after. I have used Katherine’s process personally over the past few months, and it has transformed a potentially negative or destructive process into one of peace, joy, and love. Now, I’d like to share her approach with you. This episode is perfect for anyone who wants to learn about a five step process to help lovingly complete a relationship wholeheartedly, or for anyone who wants to learn about a meaningful new chapter in my own life. IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL FIND OUT ABOUT   Katherine tells us how her life was defined by growing up with her parent’s divorce and how that evolved today as an author and psychotherapist. She tells us the story of how she set intentions for her life and the beginnings of her inner journey of self reflection. Katherine shows us how she used her own personal experience in creating her seven steps to help people with their relationships. She tells us about her uncoupling with her husband and the positive outcome it had on her life as well as her family’s lives. She describes that finding emotional freedom moves us from the difficult and emotional issues of a breakup to a more positive outcome. Katherine explains that you need to shift your perspective and begin taking personal responsibility for your part in the relationship and thus reclaim your power and your life. She talks about her ”source-fracture story” theory and  how it’s been the underlying cause of disappointing patterns in love which can help heal your heart. Katherine says that couples need to see themselves as capable of generating a positive future themselves and everyone impacted by the breakup.. Katherine finishes with her fifth step which is to create your happily even after life by making wise and life-affirming decisions as they reinvent their life. She tells us how “affect labeling” can help us control feelings and emotions. Katherine describes how uncoupling can leave you better equipped to love with a bigger, more trusting heart.   SHOW NOTES Grace Bonney Calling in “The One” Design*Sponge at Home Conscious Uncoupling Ken McLeod Join us in Welling, An online members club of 200+ inspired souls.
