Why Therapy Helped But Didn't Fix You
About this episode
Fiona May discusses the limitations of traditional therapy in addressing the subconscious triggers related to divorce and emphasizes the importance of nervous system regulation and emotional intelligence.
Fiona May introduces the Life After Divorce, Honest Conversation for Women podcast for women navigating separation, divorce, and rebuilding, emphasizing support, clarity, and that listeners are not broken. She explains that while traditional therapy can help connect the dots and build understanding, it often doesn’t resolve triggers because reactions live in the subconscious mind and nervous system, not the logical conscious mind. Divorce can create complex, layered wounds, and repeatedly talking through the story can keep women stuck in a “loop” rather than updating the body’s threat response. Fiona encourages a “pivot” from focusing on why to learning how to regulate the nervous system, build emotional intelligence, and follow a step-by-step plan using tools and strategy in the right order. She invites listeners to join their group and learn about coaching, events, and community at womenontransition.com. https://bit.ly/ryl-fs https://bit.ly/m/Women-On-Transition Hosted on Acast.
