The Empowered Divorce Podcast; Navigating Divorce After Betrayal Trauma and Abuse

107. Pathological Kindness and Finding Self-Worth Amid Divorce w/ Tony Overbay


Listen Later

In this episode, I continue my conversation with Tony Overbay, a licensed marriage and family therapist, as we dive deep into the concept of 'pathological kindness' and its impact on individuals, especially in the context of divorce. We discuss the importance of registering for free divorce support sessions, the significance of emotional self-care, and how to avoid repeating toxic relationship patterns. We also explore the dynamics of kindness and empathy, the complex emotions involved in divorce, and practical steps to reclaim one's identity and self-worth.

*Reflect on a time when your kindness may have crossed into self-sacrifice. What were the circumstances, and how did it affect your emotional well-being? Moving forward, how can you maintain your kindness while also prioritizing your own needs?

*In what ways have you noticed your identity being overshadowed by the needs of others? Moving forward, what are three steps you can take to reclaim and celebrate your individuality?
