Divorce: The First Six Months with Peter Maestrey

Daniel Herrold - Ep. 30.5 - Healing isn’t linear.

Daniel Herrold

In this episode, Daniel talks about the importance of finding your tribe. Describe what that looks like, what qualities they should have to understand your situation, and how important it is for them to have been divorced. How having that common ground makes a difference. He talks about dating right after the divorce and how that is not the best idea, considering the healing process and what dating entails. 

This episode is about the pitfalls he himself fell into immediately after the divorce that he advises avoiding if you are fortunate enough to have a choice. He talks about how jumping into dating only prolonged the healing process for him. Emphasizing the importance of healing and the time it takes, how it varies from person to person based on his experience.  Pointing out that going out or avoiding the obvious will not move you forward any faster.

This episode is a friendly reminder that what we think will heal us, might not be what we need to heal us.
