Dear Divorce Diary: A Fresh Approach To Healing Grief & Building A Life Of Confidence After Divorce
This isnât a breakup pep talk. Itâs a full-body recalibration for women navigating life after divorce. Dear Divorce Diary is a podcast for women dealing with grief, loneliness, anxiety, anxious or avoidant attachment, and identity loss after divorce â especially when quick fixes, positivity, and spiritual fluff no longer work.
Iâm Dawn Wiggins, therapist, coach, and homeopath, and this show goes where most divorce advice wonât: into your nervous system, your unspoken grief, your buried rage, and the parts of you that shut down just to survive.
Through honest conversation, somatic tools, EMDR- and IFS-informed work, and nervous-system support, each episode helps you feel instead of perform healing â and rebuild safety, confidence, and self-trust from the inside out.
Youâll hear raw solo episodes, real voice notes from women in the trenches, and intimate conversations with experts who donât just talk about healing â they embody it.
If youâre tired of being told to âmove onâ while your body is still bracing, this podcast is your place to land. Your nervous system already knows the truth â it just needs a space that can hold it.
Dear Divorce Diary: A Fresh Approach To Healing Grief & Building A Life Of Confidence After Divorce
Ep. 294 - Divorce Anxiety đ Calming an Overloaded Nervous System with EFT Tapping and IFS
After divorce, many women arenât just grieving...theyâre carrying too much in their nervous system.
Too much responsibility.
Too much self-doubt.
Too much pressure to hold it together.
That load doesnât live in your thoughts. It lives in your body.
In this episode, Dawn guides a somatic practice that blends EFT tapping with IFS-style parts work to help the nervous system release what itâs been holding. This is not about insight, fixing, or doing it right. Itâs about staying in the body long enough for real relief to happen.
The focus is simple: meet the overwhelmed part with compassion, let go of what was never meant to be carried alone, and restore capacity one layer at a time.
If this created even a small shift, there are three ways to continue:
⢠Take the Divorce Recovery Nervous System Quiz to understand how your system is organized after divorce and where itâs getting stuck.
⢠Join Dear Divorce Diary Premium for deeper nervous system support, guided practices, and behind-the-scenes conversations.
⢠Join the Cocoon Community for ongoing (free), structured support that integrates somatic work, regulation, and real-life healing.
This isnât about becoming stronger.
Itâs about carrying less.

If you reached for this episode today, it's because there's something inside of you, a part of you, that is carrying too much, too much emotional weight, too much responsibility, too much fear, too much of the story that says, I can't, I'm stuck, I don't have what it takes. And that story isn't you. It's a burden, a block, a depletion, a freeze. Today we're gonna do something powerful. Something that blends EFT tapping with IFS parts work to help you unburden one piece of what is draining your capacity. And you're not gonna think your way through this.
