MOVING ON

The Problem

You have heard one story after another about these unicorns, or phoenix's rather, that rose from the ashes stronger, richer, and more beautiful than before their divorce. But try as you might, it's not coming so easy to you. Your ex met someone new in the time it takes to boil an egg, or perhaps there was infidelity or even abuse. Right now, you are picking up the pieces of a broken heart, ego, or even worse, a shattered identity. You wish you could listen to your well-meaning friends and family that constantly tell you to "move on" or "get over it" but you just don't know how. If only you could flip a switch! Divorce is a significant life stressor and the upheaval it causes can have far reaching consequences. The physical toll alone includes high blood pressure, lack of sleep, poor diet, and exercise. And that’s just the outside! The assault on our mental health can feel brutal at times, with recurring thoughts that you just can’t shake, always fearing the worst case or looking back with rose-colored glasses.
