Letting Go of the Pain and Trauma of Abuse with Rachel Grant

Sherry and Carla start out talking about the real deal - the difference between loving someone and being in love with them. They go to a Love Fix question from a listener feeling spooked that they may be getting ghosted soon, and are looking for some advice on what to do. They then welcome Rachel Grant, founder of Rachel Grant Coaching and a leading sexual abuse recovery coach with an MA in Counseling and Psychology. As the author of "Beyond Surviving" and "Recovery from Sexual Abuse," Rachel combines her academic background, neuroscience insights, and personal journey to offer the transformative Beyond Surviving program since 2007. Rachel helps survivors of childhood sexual abuse break free from feeling unfixable, guiding them towards reclaiming their lives and embracing wholeness.    Connect with Us!
