Taming Fear Brain: Strategies for a Smoother Divorce
“Divorce is a painful death of a dream that I think is kind of like a giant crane ripping A Year Old tree from the ground.”
Divorce is a rollercoaster of emotions, and fear can often take the front seat. In this episode of 'Starting Over Stronger', Certified Divorce Coach Susan Kiernan joins host Annie Allen to unpack the concept of the 'fear brain' and its impact on divorce proceedings. Susan explains that the fear brain originates in the amygdala, the part of our brain responsible for detecting danger. When this area is triggered, it can lead to emotional overreactions, self-doubt, and poor decision-making.
But don't worry, there are ways to manage it. Susan shares practical tips like self-care, staying grounded in the present moment, and seeking professional help to navigate these turbulent times. They also dive into the importance of understanding your finances and assets during a divorce, and how to overcome feelings of shame and guilt.
If you're in the midst of a divorce or know someone who is, this episode offers valuable advice on how to keep fear from dictating your life choices. Tune in to learn how to stay calm, collected, and in control.
