Description
Write Over Divorce—and reclaim your happiness
If you have been divorced and you can’t quite get over it, this is the course for you. It’s a practical course which requires you to spend about 20 minutes every day writing in specific ways. If you study every day, it will take about three weeks.
I know what it’s like – any relationship break-up is painful! It’s also a huge disruption to your life. Here are some of the signs that you are ready to do this course.
- You hear yourself saying the same things over and over again, and you don’t like what you hear.
- You are annoyed with yourself for still feeling bitter or sad.
- You want to gain control over your own thoughts and feelings.
- You want your life to make sense again, and you know that you deserve to be happy.
I created this course as a do-it-yourself cure for that difficult post-divorce state of mind. Here's what we'll cover.
- How to finally purge yourself of bad thoughts and feelings.
- How to reframe reality and start seeing your own story from different points of view.
- How to revitalise your entire life with optimism and happiness.
Ready? I’ll be with you every step of the way. OK, let’s go!
