Dealing with Heartbreak After Heartbreak...

Debra Fileta, M.A., LPC and Creator of TrueLoveDates.com
About this episode

Heartbreak after heartbreak… you might know what it feels like to have your heart broken into a million pieces.

You might know what it feels like to have your heart broken by someone you thought you would be with forever.

How do you come out the other side of heartbreak?

How do you believe that God has good things in store for your life and for your relationships when all you feel is pain, rejection, and insecurity?

What can you do to get through heartbreak and come out the other side hoping and believing for love?

Today, I have an on-air counseling session with Jeanine Ampola Ward… as we process her painful story and unpack some of the deep hurts of heartbreak… and what her life looks like today.

If you’ve ever struggled with heartbreak, don’t miss this episode! It will challenge you and encourage you!
