Staying Connected Post-Divorce: Tips to Avoid Isolation
You really need the support of family and friends more than ever to help you get through this trying time, and it's something that's not necessarily easy, and it can be especially hard if you have an introverted personality.
Feeling isolated after a divorce can be incredibly tough, but you don't have to face it alone. In this episode of the 'Surviving Divorce Podcast', host GD Lonaker offers practical advice to help you stay connected and avoid the loneliness that often follows a separation. Lonaker underscores the importance of leaning on family and friends for support during these challenging times. He shares actionable tips on how to maintain those crucial connections and keep your social life active.
Beyond just emotional support, Lonaker highlights the benefits of regular exercise and staying physically active. He explains how engaging in physical activities can boost your mood and help you meet new people, thereby reducing feelings of isolation. Work relationships also come into focus as Lonaker discusses how building stronger bonds with colleagues can provide a sense of community and support. However, it's not all about forming new connections.
Lonaker also warns against the pitfalls of rebound relationships, which can sometimes lead to even more loneliness and emotional turmoil. Instead, he encourages listeners to join support groups where they can share their experiences and connect with others who are going through similar situations. For those seeking a sense of community and understanding, Lonaker invites listeners to leave a voicemail for the Surviving Divorce Podcast.
