Oona Metz, therapist, author, and speaker, joins The Mom Room this week to talk about the emotional journey of divorce. Oona has led divorce support groups for the past 15 years, and during that time she learned that her patients were wanting a divorce book specifically for women, written by a therapist. On the search to find such book, Oona realized there were none, so she wrote Unhitched: The Essential Divorce Guide For Women. Renee asks Oona questions about the current divorce rates, what is it that breaks a marriage, the emotional labour of women in marriage, why it takes so long for women to choose divorce, and how to choose what's best for the kids. Oona shares the five phase model of divorce grief that she created, her thoughts on the book Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage, and what it really means to co-parent. This episode is full of tangible advice and wisdom from Oona's decades long professional career, and more than anything, it inspires hope that there are healthy ways to fix a marriage, and there are healthy ways to end it without guilt and regret. Tune in to hear more and check out Oona's book linked below!!
