Are You Emotionally Ready to Date After Divorce?

 This episode unpacks the hidden struggles behind seemingly "picture-perfect" relationships in the church community, diving into the subtle relational cracks that often drive couples apart. Overview of Divorce Issues: In this session, we look at the difference between true emotional readiness and just searching for a quick fix after the trauma of divorce. Many people attempt to date as a way to resolve their identity crisis, but we discuss why this often fails. Instead, we emphasize the importance of prioritizing physiological and spiritual health—allowing God's design for your body and mind to lead the recovery process before inviting anyone else into your life. Bullet Points: Mind-Body Connection: Why restoring your physical foundation is a prerequisite for emotional healing. Microscope vs. Telescope View: Learning how to shift your focus from daily pain to God’s larger purpose. Accepting God's Design: How to stop numbing your symptoms and start listening to what your body needs. The Danger of 'Escapist' Dating: Why you must cultivate personal worth before seeking external validation in a partner. Patience with the Process: Understanding that healing isn't about erasing scars, but stopping the bleeding so you can move forward. https://mycoachdawn.com/divorce-podcast/Dawn’s Bio:Dawn Wiggins became a marriage and family therapist because of her own experience as a child of divorce. About 10 years into her career, she thought: “This doesn’t work. This sucks.” At the same time, she became trained in EMDR. And that was a game changer. She saw her clients healing so much faster and more deliciously.She expanded her practice to integrate multiple modalities from EMDR to EFT tapping, journaling, and energetic remedies for the mind and body—because you can’t heal one without healing the other. As a top-ranked therapist, she garnered a waiting list and top-secret “who’s who” clientele. But it’s her mission to deliver life-changing therapy in an accessible, scalable, affordable way and make waves in the world of mental health with the same enlightenment that happens in her office: part science, part essential oils, pure magic.She helps people tear down their illusions with a candid approach that sometimes inspires frustration. Because being in reality can feel terrifying. Parts of you that you didn’t know existed reveal themselves. Past traumas you’d buried or never even knew you had come to the surface. And the thing is, once you crack it open, it’s hard to go back. The only way out is through.💡 If you’ve ever asked: “Why do I still feel stuck?” This episode will help you stop pretending and start detoxing—emotionally, spiritually, and relationally.To support the UnYoked Podcast and to help others...
