Divorced and Still in Love (Audio Only)

Описание: Love doesn’t always end when a marriage does—and that leftover love can show up in surprising ways during co-parenting. In this episode, we share some of the things we, as counselors, notice when one or both parents may still be in love with the other. Sometimes it shows up not as affection, but as intense anger. We talk about how people often set you up to feel what they’re feeling, and how holding onto past pain can create even more challenges in your co-parenting relationship.

We also discuss three key practices that not only improve co-parenting but also help you heal: being vulnerable, speaking your truth, and staying flexible. Vulnerability can feel risky—many parents fear their ex will use it against them—but the reality is, if someone wants to use something against you, they will regardless. By choosing to be vulnerable, you create the possibility for deeper healing and may even open the door for your co-parent to soften and be vulnerable, too.

If you’ve ever wondered why it feels so hard to fully move forward after divorce, or if old wounds keep showing up in your co-parenting relationship, this episode will give you clarity and practical steps to begin healing.
