Episode Synopsis

The first Monday after January 1st is the day of the year the most divorces are filed. Whether you are contemplating divorce, in the beginning stages of a divorce, or have been going though a divorce for some time, understanding the grief cycle is important in your journey. Michael Flores, LPC-S and Dr. Jacobie Robinson, LPC-S share that divorce isn’t just a legal process; it’s an emotional journey that often mirrors the stages of grief. In this episode, we explore the grief cycle through divorce, from denial and anger to bargaining, sadness, and eventually acceptance. We’ll discuss how these stages can unfold differently for each partner, creating emotional misalignment that adds to the complexity of separation. Whether you’re struggling to move forward or finding it challenging to navigate your ex-partner’s emotional state, this episode offers insights and strategies to help you find clarity and healing during this difficult time.
