"It will help you understand so much about yourself even if you are not going through a break-up"

Before this program, I was in a place where I felt I was losing it. My head was telling me to stay in a relationship that I was not happy in. I met my spouse when I was 17 years old, and it had been a struggle from the very beginning. 
At first it was his anger and then the cheating and finally drug abuse that led to our first divorce. He changed somewhat and I found myself remarrying him 9 years later and to make a long story short, divorced him the second time and was still with him until recently. 

I never quite understood why I kept going back to a relationship that was so dysfunctional and one sided. I realized that even though I divorced him the first time, I never really let go of the hope that things would be better. I wanted to believe. I look back at my journals and my life and realized that I have been trying to get out of this for decades the signs and desires were there but for some reason that I didn’t understand, my head told me that it was better to stay with what I had. 

A couple of years ago, my heart and soul overtook my thoughts, and it became clear to me that I needed to get out once and for all. The desire was there but the know-how was not and this is where Conscious Uncoupling (my oldest daughter gave us both the book) came in. 
What I was looking for in the program was to learn how to detach once and for all from a lifetime relationship that was so painful and dysfunctional that the problems ran so deep that many attempts at couples therapy couldn’t change it. I wanted to not only learn but to understand why the hell I couldn’t break away from him. I’m an intelligent woman, why can’t I just leave. 
All my relationships with friends and colleagues are healthy, strong, respectful, and truthful and so easy and natural. 

Thanks to this program it really helped me understand so many things, in particular the part I played in all of this. I realized my source fracture story and graduated into a healthier story that saw the work that I did to heal my heart and change that story. I made amends to my younger self for not protecting myself better. 
I learned so much about myself at such a deeper level and am now able to work on the areas that need some improvement. I think that one of the most important breakthroughs is when I understood the commitments or agreements that I made decades ago that I had never released and, in my heart, I felt this is why I kept coming back. Well, it was that and my low self-esteem. 
I loved the exercise in releasing those agreements and rewriting other agreements. 

Now, I am free. We are no longer a couple, I’ve regained my power, I feel again, and it feels really great to feel again. 
The last connection is the sale of the house, which is scary because I love my home and am sad to leave it and the housing market right now has priced me out of owning a home on my own. Rent prices are outrageous as well, but I know I must do this. If it takes giving up everything, it is something I have to do so that I can be happily ever after. 
Although I hoped that we could be friends, it turned out that we can not and I’m ok with that. I am committed to being civil and respectful, but I know I still have to protect myself so for now it’s mainly written communication. But for me I am free to love and be loved. \

I love this program and have recommended it to many. Katherine did an awesome job at putting this program together. It will help you understand so much about yourself even if you are not going through a break-up. I am so grateful to Katherine.
