Whether you’ve found yourself pleading, “I need closure!” or wondering about the healthiest approach to end a relationship chapter, this webinar is for you. Drawing from insights from his acclaimed book The Power of Closure: Why We Want It, How to Get It, and When to Walk Away, Dr. Gary McClain offers a deep dive into the dynamics of seeking and finding closure.Join us as we explore the major reasons why we crave closure and provide practical guidelines for engaging in conversations that lead to emotional healing rather than further distress. 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.
