Dear Divorce Diary: A Fresh Approach To Healing Grief & Building A Life Of Confidence After Divorce
EP. 312 - Behind the Mic: Divorce, Dissociation & Trauma...What Happened to Us?
Jan 22, 2026
Season 5
My Coach Dawn
Behind the Mic is where we slow the conversation down.
In this premium episode, we speak candidly about dissociation during and after divorce—not in clinical terms, and not from a distance, but from inside our own lived experience.
This is a quieter, more intimate conversation about the ways women cope when life becomes overwhelming… and how easy it is to miss what’s really happening while you’re busy surviving.
We talk about:
- The moment you realize something has been operating under the surface
- Why certain habits, patterns, and “coping strategies” feel hard to change
- The difference between functioning and actually being present
- How the body protects us long before the mind understands what’s happening
This episode isn’t about fixing anything or tying it up neatly.
It’s about noticing.
Getting curious.
And letting yourself hear something you may not have had words for yet.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things after divorce but still feel oddly disconnected…
If you’ve ever wondered why certain patterns keep repeating…
If you sense there’s more happening beneath the surface than you’ve been able to name…
This conversation is for you.
As always, Behind the Mic is raw, personal, and meant to be experienced—not skimmed.
