#282: How to Forgive Yourself for Pushing Someone Away (Ask Steph)22 sept.11 min

<p>In today&#39;s Ask Steph episode, I&#39;m giving advice to a listener who is feeling a lot of shame and self-blame for their role in the breakdown of a relationship, which they&#39;ve come to recognise after working on themselves post-break-up. I share some thoughts on why shame and blame can be so tempting, but also how it blocks us from truly learning the lessons of our break-up and changing our patterns going forward. I also offer some honest advice on whether it&#39;s a good idea to reach out to your ex to share what you&#39;ve learned about yourself since the break-up.</p>
