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

76. E.M.P.O.W.E.R Yourself Towards Boundaries Through & Post Divorce


Listen Later

In todays continuing episodes on boundaries, I will walk you through the EMPOWER acronym that will help you create and master boundaries through your divorce and post divorce. Giving you the healthy space you need to to heal from betrayal trauma, abuse and divorce.

Using the acronym below, I will go into detail and give examples of how this will help you to be a master of setting boundaries.

Acronym: EMPOWER

  • E - Evaluate: Reflect on emotions, triggers, and identify where boundaries are needed. Recognize what is within your control and what isn't.
  • M - Method of Communication: Determine if the boundary needs to be communicated and decide on the best method for doing so. Consider the consequences and how to respond if the boundary is crossed.
  • P - Pause and Reconnect: Take a moment to pause, reconnect with yourself, and find your emotional center before responding or setting boundaries.
  • O - Own Your Agency: Recognize your power to make decisions aligned with your values and protect your boundaries. Choose experiences that align with your truth.
  • W - Watch for Manipulation: Be aware of attempts at manipulation from others, especially when setting boundaries. Protect your boundaries and stay vigilant.
  • E - Emotional Regulation: Feel and process emotions within your window of tolerance. Realign with your values and truth to regulate emotions effectively.
  • R - Reinforce Self-Care: Make self-care a non-negotiable part of boundary setting. Take time to nurture yourself emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually.


  • It can be challenging to practice boundaries when you have not had healthy emulated in past relationships, but it doesnt mean you are 'bad' at setting boundaries!

    Whether it's believing you can set boundaries, believing you can TRUST yourself, or believing that you are LOVABLE, I'd love to help you believe NEW things about yourself.
