If you're healing after divorcing an addict or wondering why moving on feels so difficult, this conversation is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with addiction recovery expert Amber Hollingsworth to discuss the emotional challenges of leaving a marriage affected by addiction. We explore trauma bonds, gaslighting, manipulation, codependency, healthy boundaries, rebuilding self trust, and why healing is about much more than simply leaving the relationship.

In this conversation, you'll learn:

Why healing from an addicted spouse is different from healing from non-addict divorces.
How trauma bonds keep you emotionally stuck.
The lasting impact of gaslighting and emotional manipulation.
Why many people unknowingly repeat unhealthy relationship patterns.
The difference between healthy boundaries and controlling behavior.
How to rebuild your confidence, identity, and emotional freedom after divorce.
Practical insights for co-parenting with an addicted ex while protecting your peace.

Whether you're recovering from a toxic marriage, healing from emotional abuse, or searching for hope after divorce, I hope this conversation offers encouragement, clarity, and practical tools to help you move forward. 🦋
