Learning from Broken Relationships

People don’t usually walk into a family lawyer’s office asking how to reflect and evolve—but in our experience, a failure to learn from past relationships is often what brings people back. Again and again.

In this episode, Ben and Heather talk to Dr. Robyn Goodwin, a clinical psychologist from LSC Psychology in Sydney, to explore how to learn from broken relationships so you can move forward with clarity and reassurance.

Topics covered include:

• How strong emotions can get in the way of reflection and growth
• How to "process" those emotions
• How to reflect on what went wrong
• How to avoid blame and self blame
• The impact of repeating the same relationship patterns
• How to recognise when you're travelling down the same old road
• Advice for someone who feels stuck - like they can't get over past relationships
• Learning resources and advice for moving forward
