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

132. Using Healing Tools Against Yourself; Believing Your Body


Listen Later

In this episode, we dive deep into a common but rarely talked-about issue—how we sometimes use healing tools against ourselves. If you've ever found yourself meditating, journaling, or practicing deep breathing not to listen to your body, but to silence it—this episode is for you.

When we override our body’s signals in an effort to feel “better” or “regulated,” we risk gaslighting our own intuition and staying stuck in cycles of self-doubt. Healing from betrayal, trauma, and divorce isn’t about forcing yourself to move on—it’s about learning to trust your body first.

Your body is not the problem—it has always been trying to protect you. Instead of suppressing the discomfort, what if we got curious? What if we believed what our body was telling us? This episode will help you recognize how to use healing tools for yourself rather than against yourself—so you can stop fighting your body and start truly healing.

Key Topics Covered:
✅ The subtle ways we turn healing tools against ourselves
✅ Why emotional regulation should never override your truth
✅ How bypassing discomfort can keep you stuck in trauma cycles
✅ The power of believing your body first before assessing or rationalizing
✅ Recognizing when your body is responding to the past vs. the present
✅ How self-trust is built by listening, not fixing
