You will learn to identify your motivations for seeking closure, understand when they are emotionally healthy, and recognize when simply walking away might be more beneficial.Who Should Attend: This webinar is ideal for anyone struggling with unresolved feelings in past or present relationships, therapists, counselors, and individuals interested in personal development and emotional well-being.
