About this book

Are you desperate to let go of your past and find a way to achieve true inner peace now your toxic partner has left your life?

Do you wish you could find a sense of calm and balance in a world that constantly seems to be holding you back?

 Divorce is one of the most stressful, emotionally draining things you can go through, and it’s something that can stay with you for the rest of your life if you’re not careful.

Rather than feeling scared of this, what if you were to feel empowered and inspired to make sure you don’t become just another statistic?

The betrayal, feeling of abandonment and self recriminations that follow so naturally from a toxic divorce can quickly change who you feel you are as a person.

Luckily, the natural consequences from a toxic divorce and so much emotional upheaval that can feel unbearable at times don’t have to become who YOU are for the foreseeable future!

“Self-Compassion for Divorce Recovery” is the exact same steps I’ve used to make it through this type of journey, and I want you to see what it can do for you too. It’s a rich source of guidance and inspiration at a time when you might feel like support is constantly in short supply.

Inside Self-Compassion for Divorce Recovery you’re going to learn:

 

  • The pains after a divorce and how to begin the journey to self-recovery
  • Divorce grief and how to go through the process
  • Useful tips to overcome the dreaded loneliness after a divorce
  • Invaluable tips to escape the chokehold of shame after a divorce
  • The truth about common divorce myths
  • How to manage children caught up in the divorce imbroglio
  • Tips to deal with the traumatic situations occasioned by a heart break
  • Valuable tips on finding love again and healing from a divorce
  • And much more!

A click right NOW will help you rebuild your life!

There’s so much more to see and do in life now that you have the chance to experience a new beginning. It would be such a waste of an opportunity if you allowed the toxic nature of your past to continue holding you back and pushing you down.

I want you to see that you’re worth so much more by taking the time to click on this page right now. It really will be the first day of the rest of your life.

Where you are

The boxes are packed. The feelings aren't.

Nobody tells you how quiet it gets, or how many times a day you'll go back over it. Chapter One starts right here, with the blame, the second-guessing, and permission to feel all of it.

Your healing path

Tick what's true. We'll map the path that fits.

Self-Compassion is where most readers start. If more of these sound like you, the other books pick up where it leaves off.

In her own words

Society, in its well-meaning intent, often imposes timelines on healing. "You should be over him by now." "You shouldn't feel guilty; you deserve happiness!" Friends may chime in with, "It's been months; you should move on!" However, real healing does not heed calendars.

In truth, there is no right or wrong when it comes to processing emotions post-divorce. Some days, the sun might shine a bit brighter. But on others, the stormy clouds might refuse to part. Moreover, that is perfectly okay. Grief is not linear.

Imagine

A Saturday that feels like yours again

  • The house is quiet, and it feels like rest.
  • Someone asks how you're doing, and you answer honestly.
  • You think about the marriage, and it doesn't take the whole day.

That's where Chapter Eight, A Time To Move On, ends up. The book walks with you there one chapter at a time.

Before you decide

Questions readers ask

Do I need the other books?

No. Self-Compassion stands on its own. The other three go deeper on one thing each: boundaries, co-parenting, or codependency. Add one only if that part is something you're living with.

Which should I read first?

Most readers start here, because it deals with the grief and the guilt first. Chapter Six touches on kids and co-parenting; if that's the bigger fight, the Co-Parenting book covers it in full.

What's in the bundles?

The Divorce Recovery Bundle has Self-Compassion, Setting Boundaries and Co-Parenting. The Complete Bundle has all four books, adding Codependency Recovery.
