from his belief system, not from the fact that Katie broke up with him.

Ending gracefully a relationship means speaking our truth without blame or judgment and not taking responsibility for another's feelings.

Randi, another one of my clients, recently told me that she was able to tell the truth rather than give herself up to avoid hurting someone.

A friend had introduced her to Barb, thinking that Randi and Barb had a lot in common and could be good friends.

Randi got together with Barb and felt no connection. In fact, she felt the opposite.

While Randi felt that Barb was a sweet person, she also felt Barb's energy pulling on her in various ways.

While some people might not mind needy energy, or even find it endearing, Randi didn't like it at all.

She was pleased with herself because she was able to tell Barb that she just didn't feel a connection with her.

Randi was able to let go of taking responsibility for Barb's feelings if Barb felt hurt by this.

Is there always a way of breaking up or saying no to a relationship without someone getting hurt?

No.

But by gently speaking your truth, you can gracefully end a relationship, and if you accept that another's feelings come from his or her belief system, then you won't feel guilty if the other person feels hurt.
