Phoenix Live: A Weekly Divorce Support Group.

This week's divorce support group topic:

Who Am I Now? Rediscovering Yourself After Divorce

For years — maybe decades — you were part of a "we." Your decisions, your routines, your social circle, your picture of the future were all built around being someone's spouse. Now that's gone, and underneath the grief and the logistics is a quieter, harder question: who am I when I'm not part of that anymore?

This session is about answering it. And it starts by naming the two traps most people fall into. One is trying to rewind — to become the person you were at 25, before the marriage — but you're not that person anymore; you've lived a whole life since. The other is building yourself entirely around not being what your ex wanted — which feels like freedom but is still letting the relationship define you, just in reverse.

Real identity is something else. We'll walk through what actually makes you you — your values (what truly matters when no one's watching), your boundaries (what you will and won't accept), your preferences (what you genuinely like, not what you learned to like for someone else), and your capacity (what you can really sustain). So much of this got buried over the years; the work isn't inventing a new self, it's rediscovering the one that was always there.

You'll leave having started to name what's truly yours again — and with a clearer, steadier sense of the person you're becoming. Not who you were, not the opposite of your ex. You.
