When Healing Brings Back the Past: The Thoughts We Can't Always Explain

Send us Fan Mail Have you ever thought you were completely over a relationship, only to find yourself lying awake at night, questioning everything that happened? You can be happy, independent and moving forward with your life, yet still have those nights when the past comes back. Is it overthinking, or are you finally understanding what you went through? In this episode of Life's a Blog, I'm talking about healing after divorce, betrayal, grief, loneliness and the years we spend putting everybody else's happiness ahead of our own. At 53, I've learned that moving on doesn't mean you'll never revisit the past. Sometimes those difficult nights bring the greatest realizations. I'm sharing some very personal experiences, from relationships I stayed in too long and learning to trust my gut, to making difficult decisions in business, recognizing my own worth and finally putting my dreams first. We'll also talk about the fear of trusting again, why some people stop living after heartbreak, and the little things that help me through those emotionally exhausting nights. Inspired by Lee Ann Womack's I Hope You Dance, this episode asks a question I've been asking myself lately. Am I going to spend the next seven years looking backward, or am I going to make the most of the life I have ahead of me? I'm not a therapist. I'm a woman who's been through it, is still learning from it, and hopes that sharing my experiences might help somebody else. What are you dreaming? And can you make that dream come true? Of course you can. Trust your gut. Fear nothing. Support the show Just a quick note! I’m not a therapist, counsellor, or mental health professional.
