HOW PAST EMOTIONS RESURFACE DURING A DIVORCE EP 96HOST: Beverly Price, Divorce & Empowerment CoachGUEST: Sharon Mosley, Sharon Mosley Mental Health Therapist SUMMARY: During a divorce, the long-buried emotional and psychological issues can resurface, intensifying the already challenging situation. Feelings of abandonment, betrayal, and inadequacy may reemerge, amplifying the conflicts between spouses. Unhealed wounds from the past can cloud judgment and hinder effective communication, leading to prolonged legal battles and heightened emotional turmoil. In this episode of Her Empowered Divorce, Host Beverly Price invites Sharon Mosley, a therapist and licensed mental health counselor with over 20 years of experience. They discuss the old tapes from our childhood and society that continue to play in our minds, how they can resurface during divorce, and what we can do about them to enhance our emotional and mental well-being. Divorce doesn’t have to be a death sentence. With the right support and guidance, you can move through the process with knowledge, skills, and confidence.
