How Trauma-Informed Coaching Helps Healing After Divorce with Divorce Coach Chavisa Horemans

Divorce can be deeply destabilizing—even when it looks calm or “amicable” on the outside. In this episode of Divorce Happens, host Olivia Howell speaks with Chavisa Horemans, a trauma-informed divorce, co-parenting, and chronic health coach, about what actually happens in the body and nervous system during divorce—and why healing and decision-making must begin with safety, regulation, and support.Chavisa draws from her professional training in holistic trauma recovery, somatic practices, and co-regulation, as well as her lived experience navigating a brutal divorce. She explains why divorce is a relationship rupture, how trauma disrupts clarity and choice, and why trauma-informed divorce coaching is essential—especially for women navigating high-conflict divorces, emotional abuse, financial abuse, or post-separation abuse. Together, Olivia and Chavisa explore how grounding the body creates the conditions for clearer thinking, stronger boundaries, and safer outcomes.The conversation also dives into Chavisa’s work helping women identify relationship red flags before harm escalates, including her monthly workshops focused on early warning signs of emotional abuse and unsafe dynamics. Listeners will learn how forward-thinking co-parenting decisions can prevent years of conflict, why trusting your intuition is not irrational but protective, and how personalized, trauma-informed divorce support can help women move through complexity and into healing, empowerment, and stability.🔗 Check out Fresh Starts Registry:The first & only divorce registry + support platform ➡ https://www.freshstartsregistry.com/📱 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/freshstartsregistry/📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FreshStartsRegistry🎙 Podcast IG: https://www.instagram.com/divorcehappenspod/📬 Magazine: https://divorceguidemagazine.com/
