19. Exploring stress and overwhelming emotions after separation

Facing the aftermath of a separation can feel like navigating a storm without a compass.In this latest episode, I unpack  tools and techniques that can help you to manage the stress and anxiety during these trying times. You'll learn how to identify and shift the behaviours developed in past relationships that no longer serve you, and the importance of setting boundaries to protect your peace and your children's well-being. I dive into the critical role support systems play, and why reinforcing positive changes can mean the difference between sinking and sailing smoothly through the rough waters of court and mediation processes.This episode also sheds light on the dangers of labelling your controlling ex-partner, and the power of healing and preparation for the legal battles ahead. I discuss the importance of seeking the right kind of support—be it therapy or coaching—that's tailored to your unique journey. You're not alone.  I'm here to help.The music you hear in this outro is 'Calm is Credible' - an original track created exclusively for the Post-Separation Abuse Podcast and Danielle Black Coaching.  You can listen to this song, or download free, by visiting danielleblackcoaching.com.auAbout Danielle Black Coaching:Danielle Black is a respected authority in child-focused post-separation parenting in Australia.
