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

163. The Emotional Divorce After Betrayal & Abuse


Listen Later

Most people think divorce ends with the papers. But if you’ve been through betrayal or abuse, you already know there’s another kind of divorce — the emotional divorce.

In this episode I go deeper into what emotional divorce really means, why it’s so hard, and how you can begin to step into freedom even when your ex never changes.

We’ll talk about:

  • The difference between legal divorce and emotional divorce and why the decree alone doesn’t bring peace

  • The emotions that keep you tied after betrayal — grief, anger, sadness, fear, and resentment

  • Why your brain, body, and attachment system make it so hard to let go

  • Real-life examples of staying emotionally married and why expectations keep you stuck

  • The five steps to begin your emotional divorce: awareness, releasing expectations, feeling your feelings, rebuilding self-trust, and redefining freedom

Emotional divorce is layered and not easy, but it’s the part of healing that truly brings peace and empowerment. If you feel like you’re still trapped in the emotional rollercoaster even after divorce, this episode will give you both validation and practical steps forward.
