014 - Who Gets The Friends (Time to FIX Your Tribe)

Listen Later

It is one of those unfortunate realities of getting into coupledom: we lose friends and sometimes they are the very friends we need when that coupledom falls apart. Alas, there is not much we can do about what has been lost but we have to move forward.

As you move through the process, YOU will find that you need different people now. Some friends will be there on the other side but many will not. It will be hard to make that transition in the moment but it will be easier as time moves on.

You might be tempted to cling (HARD) to those friends who do stick around but you have to allow them to breathe and support in their own way and open yourself to other people to step in and help you transition into your new reality.

How you can cope:

  1. Give yourself permission to move on from friendships that are not working. You don’t owe anyone explanations for what you need to do to get to happiness.
  2. Say yes to new experiences (that are legal please!) and new people. These are where you will begin to find your voice again.
  3. Get yourself a therapist. Yep, there are some things you need that even the best friend cannot give you over and over again without getting burned out. Don’t let the weight of what you need destroy the friends you also need in your life. Get help.

    4. Friends are our lifeline through so many things. Getting a new tribe after divorce is essential for your mental health and happiness. That’s it for this episode.
