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

BONUS EPISODE: Q&A From You Amazing Listeners


Listen Later

We missed the July Live Q&A so today I am taking 2 listeners questions that are about anger and answering them today.

As Kim and I have been talking about anger I wanted to answer these questions to give you a more real life situations involving beautiful anger emotions.

Today’s Discussion Highlights:

  • Understanding the Roots of Anger: Explore why anger isn't just about the present frustrations but often about deeper, unresolved issues. We’ll look at how unrecognized betrayal, lying, and abusive communication can fuel our anger without us even knowing the true causes.

  • Shifting Reality Perception: Discuss the disconnect between what our body perceives and what our cognitive awareness can grasp, leading to intense reactions that seem disproportionate to the actual events.

  • Reclaiming Identity Beyond Anger: Learn how to recognize that being angry doesn't define you. We'll explore a pivotal moment of realization: recognizing that you are not inherently an angry person, despite the narratives imposed by others.

  • Listener Questions Addressed:

    1. "How do I get over the anger? I'm not an angry person. I try to do all these things and they dont work and im exhausted. "

      • Understand that it's not about getting rid of anger but getting curious about why it’s there. Recognizing the underlying reasons can alleviate the exhaustion linked to misdirected efforts to simply suppress it.
      • "I find myself being angry over everything my ex does or doesn't do and especially with the kids, like- kids come home and he didnt feed them so now i have to put something together real quick- and now im soooooo angry i can hardly stand it. Will this ever stop?"

        • Focus on adjusting expectations and accepting the current realities of co-parenting. This includes planning for predictable shortcomings and deciding what you can realistically expect from an uncooperative ex-partner.
        • Steps to Practice This Week:

          • Pause and Reflect

          • Use the Feelings Wheel

          • Readjust Expectations

          • Empowerment Through Understanding

              Not sure where to even start? The 'D' word can feel overwhelming to say the least. But lets slow this down a bit as I will help you take the next right step for you, just right now from a place of empowerment.

              ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SHOULD I STAY OR GO GUIDE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

              I specifically designed this to guide you through one of the most challenging questions you might face in your life. This course isn't just about finding an answer; it's about discovering what that answer means for you and your well-being. Through my own journey and deeply personal decision around should I stay or go,  I realized that there is no 'right' choice-  but that I make the choice right, by being the chooser of it.
