497 - The invisible shock of separation (even if you chose it)

In this episode, I talk about the invisible shock that can follow separation, even when you were the one who chose it. There's a myth that if you initiated the breakup, you should only feel relief. But separation is still a loss, a rupture, and a nervous system shock. Mixed emotions like grief, sadness, confusion, and relief can exist at the same time, and that doesn't mean you made the wrong decision. I explore why your body and emotions don't always process separation logically, and how it can impact your sense of safety, identity, and the future you imagined. If you've ever wondered why you feel so shaken even though you knew leaving was right, this episode is for you. Links mentioned in the episode: Download the E-book, I'm A Single Mum...
