The process of getting over a divorce is very similar to the process of breaking a drug addiction. Time is a wonderful healer and I encourage you.
Divorce isn't just a legal split; it's an emotional earthquake that can leave you feeling like your world has been turned upside down. In this episode of the 'Surviving Divorce Podcast', the hosts dive deep into the science behind the pain of divorce. They bring in Dr. Brian Boutwell from St. Louis University, who shares fascinating research showing that the brain reacts to love and heartbreak in ways similar to addiction.
Yes, you read that right – your brain on love isn't too different from your brain on drugs! This revelation helps explain why moving on from a relationship can be so incredibly tough. But don't worry, you're not alone in this journey. The hosts also discuss the physical symptoms that often accompany heartbreak, like anxiety, chest pain, and even stress-induced weight gain. They emphasize that these reactions are completely normal and part of the healing process.
The episode doesn't just stop at the science, though. It walks you through the stages of grief that many experience during a divorce – from bargaining to depression to acceptance. The hosts remind us that reaching acceptance is key to moving forward and not letting the past control your future. With a blend of expert advice and heartfelt storytelling, this episode offers valuable insights and practical coping strategies to help you find hope and healing after separation.
If you're navigating the rocky road of divorce, this episode is a must-listen for understanding your emotions and finding your way to a brighter future.
