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

I don't think it matters how much time has gone by or how long a person has been divorced, when you find out your ex is getting married, not only does it hurt, but it is a shock response. There are many feelings that flow through you after this awareness, including the feeling of injustice, like unfairness. There can also be anger, bitterness, and jealousy–why does he get the happy ending and I don’t?



Were all the happy times really happy?What if I am wrong and he really is “better”? And now she gets the guy that I fought so hard to help him become. 

Maybe he really never loved me at all.

Now I have to be single forever- self sacrificing for the sake of the kids.

When you feel the emotion of fear, do you then try to just have more faith? What about when you feel grief, do you try to just feel more grateful? Today I offer a little trick I use that will help you to make a much needed shift. It's a shift into more authenticity, acceptance and empowerment.

I have 2 of my favorite words I am sharing with you today, and as I have implemented these in my life I have been able to accept more emotions without judgement and make choices that I know are right for me right now, despite the objections of my brain.

Short and sweet.

Have you thought to yourself, "How did I get this so wrong?", or "How did I miss the red flags and get into this marriage ?", "I chose wrong, I got it wrong". Perhaps you have thought ,"Where did things go wrong, I thought everything was right?". Any of those thoughts resonate with you? They did for me.

Changing the way I thought about my choice to marry someone who hurt me so deeply was challenging, but ultimately I chose to believe that I got it right.

Today I want to offer you an analogy that I believe will help you to think about your choice differently, and that will ultimately help you have an empowered divorce.
