Whoa to Go

Being a bit more gritty

September 22, 2023 • Karen AD • Episode 11

Breaking up from an unhealthy relationship can leave you feeling destroyed, pulled apart and broken. That was how Phil Walker felt after detaching himself from a destructive relationship and suffering through the year from hell. After coming to the gritty realisation that people can have a darker side, Phil gave himself time to come out of denial, see the truth for what it was and “be with” what was going on. Now, Phil uses this terrible time in his life to help others recovering from unhealthy relationships, in his work as a counsellor. It’s a gritty chat, with lots of practical tips. Let's dive in to Phil’s story of being a bit more gritty.
