Sherry and Carla kick off the show talking about the difference between a therapist and a coach, and take a Love Fix question on how to fully grieve the end of a toxic relationship and not repeat the same patterns. They then welcome Trina Leckie, coach and host of the popular Breakup Boost podcast. Trina shares her most successful and proven tips for getting out of a stuck relationship and hurtful breakup, what traps she sees her clients fall into when it comes to splitting up successfully, and practical steps to disconnecting from your ex to focus on yourself and a brighter life ahead.    What You’ll Hear In This Episode:    The difference between therapy and coaching, there is a place for both, and you may possibly benefit from one more than the other at specific points throughout life.  A Love Fix question about how to get out of a toxic relationship and fully grieve the process.  Trina is like the best friend you have always wanted helping you get through the breakup. She’s not going to sugarcoat it, but she will also give it to you straight.  The more we try to avoid pain, the more it will stay buried and stuck in our life. You have to feel the pain, be alone and do the work, and then things will start to shift.  Trina’s popular podcast, Breakup Boost, explores all angles of a breakup. What are the things that Trina hears people most affected by after a split?  How do you know when it’s time to break up?  How can you break up kindly and respectfully with someone?  Is there an appropriate amount of time to stay single after entering into another relationship after a breakup?  Is a breakup really a failure, or is there another lesson you can learn?  Need some 1 on 1 personal advice from Trina? Check out her coaching,  along with ways to work with Sherry and Carla on overcoming codependency, dating, healing from toxic relationships and gaining confidence. Trina’s all star advice: stop focusing on the beginning and chasing the drug of the beginning of your relationship, stop instagram-stalking your ex, and take him/her off the pedestal!  Being attracted to your partner is so important, but even more of a priority is finding someone that matches your mindset.    Tweetables:  “If you really want to meet someone, try everything.” - Trina “What is repressed will be expressed.” - Sherry  “Social media has made people so much less social.” - Trina  “You have to be honest with yourself, or you are just going to keep yourself stuck.” - Trina “When you can stop caring about what people are going to think, you will have a new level of freedom.” - Trina  “Confidence and independence are the biggest gifts you can give yourself.” - Trina  “People need to take their relationship and ex off the pedestal.” - Trina    Connect with Us!   The Love Fix | @thelovefixpodcast Wake up Recovery for Codependency, Love Addiction, and Toxic Relationships — $1 trial membership The Love Fix Relationship Quiz     Sign up for a Connection call with Sherry https://sherrygaba.com/coaching/life-coaching/    Find Out More:    Sherry Website | Instagram | Facebook | Love Smacked | Wake Up Recovery for Codependents and Toxic Relationships     Carla Website | Instagram | Facebook | Contagious Love | Online Dating Bootcamp    Trina Leckie  Break Up Boost Podcast | Instagram| YouTube  Today’s episode is sponsored by Carla’s book Contagious Love: Break Free from Codependency for Damn Good and Sherry’s book Love Smacked: How To Stop the Cycle of Relationship Addiction and Codependency To Find Everlasting Love.  Thanks to Contagious Love and Love Smacked for sponsoring this episode.
