Emotional Intelligence for Critical Thinkers
The pain of loss shouldn’t be stuffed down and avoided, it should be felt at the deepest level, but only when you’re ready and only at the pace you can handle. Everyone experiences loss differently so what works for one person may not work for you.
In this episode, I help you connect with the deeper layers underneath the loss so that perhaps there can be some small release or relief. This isn’t about healing, it’s about connecting. And sometimes that’s all that’s needed to start healing.
When you’re needy and fearful of someone leaving you, or something ending, you tend to miss all the best moments of life.
Fear of abandonment can dominate your thoughts causing you to miss out on happiness and fulfillment. When you grow beyond that fear, you might actually starting enjoying life again.

Inadequacy usually has a source. We’ll talk about that and a lot more in this packed episode.
When someone we love passes, it leaves a hole in our heart and sometimes a lack of closure. It’s that lack of closure that keeps us in feelings of guilt, regret, and other emotions that we just can’t shake.
If you’d like to heal and move past those feelings and start living life again, this episode may help you achieve that.
