THE HEARTBREAK HOTEL
‘Heartbreak may be the very essence of being human, of being on the journey from here to there, and of coming to care deeply for what we find along the way’ (Whyte)
Last year, after 25 years of one-to-one therapy and compassionate leave after the death of my mother, I opened The Heartbreak Hotel. Periods of great pain can lead to periods of great change. And if we listen to ourselves closely enough, change that is re-invigorating and purposeful.
For some time I had wanted to move beyond the traditional framework of the 50 minute session into a space where people were cared for, looked after and given the time they need to heal. Run by women, for women, the Heartbreak Hotel is a place where women can join together when they feel broken and lost, where they are reminded that their pain makes sense, where they can recover and remember how lovable, capable, strong and powerful they are.
If you want to have somewhere where you can move beyond the stories in your life that have kept you caged, take ownership of your strengths, nurture your vulnerabilities and gain clarity about how to move forward, come along. It is a transformational process, over four days, on the beautiful coast of North Norfolk. Open fires, hot water bottles, comfy beds. Seasonal food and sparkling mocktails. Therapeutic experts, trauma healing, cold swimming, beach walks, and lots of laughing. This is no ordinary retreat, so take a look. I’m not seeing people one-to-one for the foreseeable future, but if you want to keep in touch with me subscribe to my new blog at The Heartbreak Hotel.
