Divorce Source Radio

If you are going through a divorce, chances are you've heard some negative thoughts running through your head. Am I good enough? Was this my Fault? Will I ever find another partner? Many going through a divorce experience these types of thoughts early on during the grief phase and this is quite normal and understandable. But If you can't seem to move beyond these thoughts, it's time to explore them and ask yourself are my feelings and interpretations of my situation really true? More times than not you'll discover these thoughts are not your reality but rather the meaning you have attached to them.

In this episode of Divorce Recovery, Shelley Stile shows us how to sort fact from fiction and helps us to see the truth. By doing this, we empower ourselves to see the reality or our situation and can begin to let go of negative self talk. Divorce is an opportunity for personal growth and Shelley provides us with tips to feel better mentally and physically during this tough time and helps us to discover our true reality.

When we are faced with divorce, we go through a grief process. The death of our marriage brings the loss of the hopes and dreams we had as a couple, the loss of our normal family life, friends, community, etc.

Grief is the normal reaction to loss. No two people grieve loss in the same way.

You'll learn that there is no "one size fits all" approach to grief recovery, and yet there are experiences we all share when overcome by grief.

There are a range of emotions - often referred to as the stages of grief - that you might experience with the death of your marriage: Denial, Anger, Ambivalence, Depression, and Acceptance.

Karen and Carrie explore what it means to grieve well and some of the "Rules of Grief" we have learned growing up that need to be consciously examined and set aside in order for you to move into acceptance of your losses.

Learn practices and tools to assist you in taking care of yourself while grieving, including how to appropriately express and release your emotional energy with a sense of safety and permission to do so. The healing can begin with these simple practices and tools.

We have all had the experience of obsessing over thoughts during divorce. Whether trying to understand how this happened or worrying about what the future holds or re-running that argument in your mind over and over again. I call it loop thinking when we feel like we are on a mental hamster-wheel or caught in a mental rut.

Today's we examine the four categories these mental obstacles fall into and how they keep us stuck and cause us to increase the emotional pain we are experiencing. Begin to see how our pain originates with our thoughts and how once we are aware of those that pull us down, we can begin to consciously change the way we think. This powerful concept frees us to choose to respond rather than react and ultimately to communicate with more confidence.

Karen McMahon and Lisa Brick share practices, tools and exercises to help you implement these concepts immediately and see the impact this new awareness will have on how your choose to engage in all your interactions.

Divorce is deeply painful. We may experience different emotions ranging from hurt or anger, shame or disappointment, fear or bitterness. In order to heal as we go through this transition, it is vital that we not judge or avoid our feelings but rather accept that they simply are.

In our quick fix society we see the devastation of avoiding our feelings with pharmaceutical drugs and personal addictions. Emotional pain seems too hard to handle so we stuff it, numb it, work harder, play harder, shop more, binge on Netflix reruns, etc. Yet no matter where we go, or how fast we try to get there, we can't outrun our feelings. Wherever we go, there we are...with our pain.

The only way out is through. Karen and Carrie share gentle, practical, and doable strategies for feeling and processing painful emotions in a way that enables us to move through them and engage in essential conversations and decisions about the future with calm and clarity. Learn the practice of creating space through breath that provides a path back to your center - who you are and want to be in all your interactions.
