Have you ever felt your gut warning you about someone but your head talked you out of listening?
In this episode I sit down with clinical psychologist and author Phoebe Rogers to explore the psychology of safe love and why rebuilding self-trust after separation starts in your body, not your brain.
We dive deep into what happens when you begin healing after separation, why so many of us keep attracting emotionally unavailable partners, and how schema therapy can help you break free from the old relationship patterns that hold you back.
Together, we unpack:
- The link between your nervous system and emotional safety in relationships;
- Why learning to trust yourself again after divorce is the foundation for love after divorce;
- What to look for when you’re dating after divorce and how to know when you’re ready;
- How your body often senses red flags before your mind catches up;
- Why healthy, safe love begins with reconnecting to yourself
Because true healing after divorce doesn’t make you harder to love it makes you better at it.
