387 - Feeling the pain of divorce

Divorce is a life-altering event that can leave individuals, especially single mums, grappling with a whirlwind of emotions. While the decision to end a marriage may be the right one, the journey through divorce is often fraught with pain, grief, and uncertainty. In this episode, we explore the emotional landscape of divorce for single mums. We delve into the common feelings that arise during this transitional period such as the pain of grief, loss, and separation. I share the importance of acknowledging and processing these emotions, highlighting the healing potential of sitting with your pain and allowing yourself to grieve. I also discuss the impact of divorce on the nervous system, explaining how prolonged stress and trauma can affect your physical and emotional well-being. Furthermore, we discuss the concept of the three-year transition period for the entire family following a divorce. This period is characterised by adjustments, challenges, and opportunities for growth for both parents and children.
