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

111. " I Should Have Known Better"


Listen Later

Today I validate the emotional turmoil following divorce and betrayal, focusing on the pervasive tendency to self-blame and shame our past self for "Not knowing what we should have known". By exploring the cognitive and psychological reasons behind such reactions, including the brain's mechanisms for dealing with trauma, I share a compassionate perspective. The episode offers practical steps for healing and making a shift towards having an EMPOWERED DIVORCE.
