Real Talk About the Single Life Podcast by Jenny Emerson

Relationship Recovery from a Male and Female Perspective with Guest Brandon Wetzler, LMFT


Listen Later

It’s not uncommon that when a relationship ends, we find ourselves having to work through rediscovering our identity. Our most significant relationships are a huge piece of who we are. When a relationship ends, our identity can be dismantled. Though we know it’s not true in our minds, it’s hard to escape feeling like we are damaged goods. It’s hard to believe we could even consider the possibility of being in a relationship again. Could you trust yourself to make good decisions about dating? Could you be vulnerable and trust again? These are the questions we have to ask when we begin to do relationship recovery, whether it be a break-up, a death, or a divorce. It’s all difficult work. 

 

We may know what that pain feels like as a woman, but today’s guest is going to round out the story for us. Brandon Wetzler is a coach for divorced men. He helps men navigate the heartache or divorce and begin building an honorable life they can take pride in. He speaks about the often overlooked need men have to express their emotions and be nurtured. We also discuss how critical it is to be authentic at every stage of the dating game. We agree on a few other topics like our love of cheese and the fact that being alone is better than being with someone who makes you feel lonely. Join us to explore the other half of the conversation you might be missing. 



In this episode we’ll explore: 

  • Why an end of a relationship can lead to an identity crisis
  • How there’s no such thing as the perfect person
  • How women can easily neglect a man’s need to be nurtured
