🎧 Episode Description:
In this episode of the With Counseling Podcast, therapist and founder JJ Blandford continues our series on navigating divorce. In Part 2, we talk about what it’s like to be in the middle of the divorce process—from the moment of filing to the finalization. JJ explores how to find the support you actually need, manage the emotional weight of “limbo,” and care for yourself and others—especially kids—during this season of uncertainty.
We cover:
What “the middle” of divorce really looks like
Why the court process often takes longer than expected
The emotional toll of being stuck between two lives
Grieving not just the relationship but the support you thought you’d have
The value of therapy in providing space, affirmation, and practical help
Navigating parenting dynamics and hard conversations with children
What it means to seek support and set boundaries when your capacity is limited
Why self-care is essential (and often the first thing to go)
Whether you’re in the middle of a divorce yourself or walking with someone who is, this episode offers compassion, clarity, and guidance for the journey.
👉 Next week: We’ll wrap up the series by looking at the season after divorce—what healing and rebuilding can look like.
