274. The Lies Denial Tells You: When Feeling Numb Keeps You From Healing After Divorce

Dear Divorce Diary: A Fresh Approach To Healing Grief & Building A Life Of Confidence After Divorce

Denial isn’t just pretending things are fine — it’s the story your nervous system tells so you don’t have to feel the full truth yet.

In this episode, we talk about how denial shows up in subtle ways:

...staying busy so you don’t feel,

...justifying behavior that hurts you,

...and, convincing yourself “it’s not that bad.”

And why breaking through it isn’t about shame — it’s about safety.

This is one of those episodes that’s worth hearing again, because the moment denial cracks, real healing begins.
