Finding Lightness in Transition: Emotional Resilience in Divorce
Manage episode 422154590 series 3380582
As the dust settles on a marriage, the landscape of family life is irrevocably altered, especially for the children caught in the emotional aftermath. Been there Got Out takes an empathetic dive into this new territory with the help of Dr. Barb Hughson and Dr. Wayne Benenson, who bring their wealth of expertise to our conversation. We tackle the thorny issues that emerge as children adapt to shifting family dynamics, from juggling different household rules to grappling with their peers' perceptions of their restructured lives. With a focus on high-conflict divorces, our discussion seeks to offer a beacon of understanding and guidance for parents navigating this precarious path.
Self-care isn't just a buzzword; it's a lifeline for parents steering through the choppy waters of life post-divorce. We lace up our running shoes and roll out our yoga mats as we discuss the need for restorative practices that rejuvenate the spirit and the profound effect this personal equilibrium has on children. Drawing inspiration from Catherine Price's "The Power of Fun," we champion the rejuvenating power of laughter and joy, suggesting that creating new family traditions isn't just beneficial, it's essential. These moments of lightness amidst the trials of transition are a salve to both the parent and the child's soul, reminding us all that even in the darkest times, there's a spark of fun waiting to be kindled.
As our conversation unfurls, we spotlight the unique challenges and opportunities when it comes to forging connections with teenagers. Exploring shared interests can bridge the communication gap, and through the Each One Teach One program, families can discover a balanced dynamic of learning and growing together. Creative arts therapies emerge as a powerful tool for helping children articulate complex emotions, fostering a resilience that will carry them through life's ups and downs. Our closing thoughts linger on the art of storytelling and its capacity to shift moods and perspectives, wrapping up an episode filled with tangible strategies and heartfelt advice for families facing the transformative tides of divorce.
