After the Earthquake: Identity and Divorce
Manage episode 493823977 series 3638864
In this episode of Becoming with Rhian, I explore the psychological aftershocks of divorce — the deep identity rupture that can follow the end of a relationship. Divorce isn’t just a legal or emotional separation; it can feel like an earthquake that shatters the foundation of who you thought you were.
I speak candidly about the disorientation that comes when the roles, routines, and relationships that once defined you suddenly fall away. What happens when your identity is wrapped around being a partner, a caregiver, or part of a shared future — and then it’s gone?
We dive into the grief, the questions, the fear — but also the quiet, surprising space that opens up for reinvention. This is an episode for anyone who’s ever felt unrecognizable to themselves after a major life rupture. It’s about the messy, vulnerable, and ultimately human journey of becoming someone new.
