Episode Description

Most of us expect to experience a range of emotions once we go through divorce, some of them which are very difficult to navigate, and many people are surprised at how they can become controlled by the emotions so much that healing seems impossible. But did you ever consider what scientifically happens to our brains when we go through a trauma like divorce? Understanding this can help you reverse course to start healing.

Join Rachel as she chats with Dr. Monique Thompson, mental health clinician and life coach, to understand this phenomenon. Learn about the 2 nervous systems - why we tend to live in one while we should be striving to live in the other, and how this affects our decision making when we go through divorce. 🦋
