About

Shena Tubbs, Relational Trauma and Love Addiction Expert, Coach, and LPC joins us to talk about how early trauma manifests in our adult relationships, recreating a cycle from childhood. As Shena shares, healing begins with getting the language and words around family trauma and what did/didn’t happen. Persistent love addiction/love avoidant adult relationships are often a recreation of early trauma, of seeking out people that would do the same, in hopes that it will turn out differently. Shena is the host of the Black Girls Heal podcast and the founder of Black Girls Heal, an online community dedicated to helping women of color break the cycles of unavailable relationships & love addiction, heal unresolved childhood trauma and improve their self love to make way for the love they want.   RESOURCES: Find Shena Tubbs’ Podcast, Recovery School, Self-Love Intensive, and Mini Program 'The Healed and Loved Woman', online at BlackGirlsHeal.org   Learn more about Rebecca’s connectfulness counseling practice at connectfulness.com/work-with-me and explore her upcoming online offerings:  Essential Skills Relationship Bootcamp October 24-25,2020This is an authorized presentation of Terry Real's Essential Skills Relationship Bootcamp.
