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

Ep. 262 - Divorce Healing Stuck? The Sexual Self-Acceptance Block You Didn’t See Coming

My Coach Dawn Season 4

If your divorce healing feels stuck, the block may be hiding in your sexual self-acceptance. It’s not about sex—it’s about shame.

You’ll Learn

  • How sexual shame sneaks into divorce recovery.
  • Why ignoring this block keeps women frozen in grief.
  • The path to reclaiming wholeness through self-acceptance.

💎 Healing isn’t about pushing past shame—it’s about learning safety in your body. Join A Different D Word

Many divorced women feel stuck in their healing, not realizing the real block is sexual self-acceptance. This isn’t about performance—it’s about permission. Permission to feel, to be whole, to stop carrying the shame you never chose. In this episode, we walk you through why this layer of healing matters and how to begin giving yourself the grace you’ve always deserved.

 Sexual self-acceptance is the missing piece in many women’s divorce recovery journeys.

Speaker 1:

After divorce, your sex drive can turn into a mind maze, I think, for many women. They often can't imagine being touched and for some you want to rip somebody else's clothes off right Just to reclaim some lost part of yourself. Today we're going to talk about both states. We're going to talk about the freeze, the tendency to be sexually shut down, numb and maybe even think that that is a sign of healing, but really it's about something that's been lost within you. And we're also going to talk about the flood, when you chase the high of being wanted and confuse it with power and end up in beds that leave you even emptier. And, finally, how to untangle the intersection of your trauma, your hormonal dysfunction, your nervous system dysregulation, so that you can have and meet desire without fear. If you're scared about what your body has been saying lately, let's do this together.
