After the Breakup

"""Tamara writes, ""it's impossible to capture all that love encompasses,"" and it is so true! As the founding director and therapist of Growth and Transitions Counseling, I recognize that the pain of breakups is hard for most but it's also true how much we desire love and to be loved. After the Breakup is a well-written support guide through the healing process of a breakup and the renewing of ourselves to get ready for relationships again. I love the mindfulness exercises that guide deeper explorations of the self and give practical tools to aid in the healing process."" --Adiasha Richards, LMHC ""Starting a self-healing practice can be a daunting journey, especially when a person is in a dense space and lacks the knowledge of where to begin. This workbook begins with compassionate guidance and pragmatic information that can allow a person to feel understood without feeling overwhelmed. The second part of the workbook includes a multitude of exercises that give voice to that feeling. What makes this workbook unique is the various tools and techniques that are thought-provoking, sensible, and intentional. For someone who is a novice to self-healing techniques, these tools can be the seed planted to the understanding that self-love heals all wounds. As a clinical social worker, I would strongly suggest this book to my clients as it is a relatable experience for anyone struggling with the healing process."" --Laura Lee Figueroa, LCSW ""Where was this book when I had to walk through my journey of getting over my ex? I spent so much of my earlier 30's walking on this journey to self-love alone. Tamara Thompson was able to capture every emotion of my journey in this book, and the activities to help get through were the icing on the cake. This book is a necessary tool in speeding up the journey to healing by supporting those transitioning out of a relationship to help manage their emotions without losing themselves. Rather, you are learning to love yourself on a greater level. I am a social work supervisor in the child welfare system and oftentimes our clients face separation impacting the family dynamic. The knowledge and reflective activities shared in this book are applicable to all families of all ages. The tools range from mindfulness with meditation and breath-work to songwriting, word searches, and crosswords! The techniques are insightful, creative, engaging, and supportive. You will learn more about yourself and how you show up in relationships after completing this workbook. Whether you decide to use this book to find your own personal healing or to support the journey of others, you will not be disappointed by the results."" --Jessica Farrell, Mental Health Counselor, Referral Consultant Supervisor"
