How Women Lose Their Identity in Marriage - and How to Find It (Silent Separation Series - The Mind)
Have you ever felt like you’ve slowly lost yourself in your marriage? You take care of everyone else, keep the peace, make decisions around other people’s needs, and one day realize you don’t even know what you want anymore. This is silent separation, and this is episode 3 in the Silent Separation series, where we focus on the mind and how to heal it. Join Rachel as she explores what happens when you lose your identity in marriage, and how you can begin finding yourself again. Whether you are divorced and just realizing that silent separation played a role in your marriage, or if you are married and feeling lost, disconnected from yourself, afraid to speak your mind, or unsure of what you truly want, this episode will help you understand how small choices can help you reconnect with your identity, rebuild self-trust, and reclaim your mind. In either situation, understanding silent separation enables you to heal those wounds so you can move forward. Want to learn more about healing from divorce?
