"When will my life feel normal again after divorce?" It's a question that haunts many of us during this profound transition. The discomfort of changed routines, financial shifts, and parenting adjustments feels deeply unsettling. But there's a fascinating biological reason behind this distress.
Your brain's primitive amygdala interprets these changes as potential threats to survival, triggering fight-flight-freeze responses that actually reduce your cognitive function. First, regulate; second, question. The powerful opportunity within divorce lies in intentionally designing your life rather than returning to old patterns.
I'll cover:

• Divorce creates feelings of abnormality that trigger our brain's survival response
• The amygdala interprets discomfort as danger.
• When the amygdala is activated, our IQ drops 10-15 points
• Realigning your nervous system through grounding techniques helps restore logical thinking
• Question what "normal" means to you
• Deciding intentionally what you want your life to look like gives you power
• Consider whether you want to return to your old definition of normal or create something new
