One of my biggest regrets is that I didn't traverse The Bridge Retreat before the pandemic. At least God in her wisdom divined this book

My grief was blocking my joy. Donna's invite to go deeper into my pain meant I was able to access much more joy and it felt amazing. This work works! Give yourself the best gift ever, buy this book and go on the journey with Donna, you won't regret it

A nine-step plan to healing your trauma, accepting yourself and living life to the full

Every single one of us is living with the aftershocks of heartbreak. Whether it's the sting of not fitting in at school or the pain of witnessing our parents' divorce, the end of our own marriage or the death of a loved one, to be human is to bear the wounds of all our losses and setbacks. 
 
Heartbreak can manifest itself as depression, anxiety, self-sabotage, as well as an inability to feel emotions, make connections, or live life on your own terms. Coach and therapist, Donna Lancaster, brings her 32 years of experience into a practical 9-step programme that will empower you with the tools and support you need to gain clarity, identify what has hurt you, and learn how to release the pain, fear and anger keeping you trapped. 
 
Donna will teach you how to care for yourself with love, give you the courage to really feel your feelings, step into your authentic self and move towards whole-hearted living.
