Divorce recovery for men is different in part because men are exposed to societal messaging that can often leave you like a broken man after divorce.

Understanding the societal narratives that you’ve internalized throughout your lifetime is essential for effective divorce recovery for men.

There are two general narratives that western society tells us about men. Both are myths, and both have impacts on divorce recovery for men.

The first myth is that a good man is a strong, stoic provider who takes care of his family. He has it together, he is stable and grounded, emotionally intelligent and always there if you need him. This man would never fall apart, he is the rock that his wife and children can always count on.

The second myth is that a sexy man is mysterious, confident, aggressive yet loving, passionate and takes charge, is vulnerable yet doesn’t get hurt by a woman’s criticism or anger… basically Dorian Gray from 50 Shades.

These aren’t real men. These aren’t real PEOPLE. Yet most men think they should be this way... which is part of why you might feel like a broken man after divorce!

Here’s the BIG problem with this societal messaging, and the one reason you may feel broken after your divorce:

These stereotypes don’t allow for the one thing that is actually necessary to create the emotional safety and intimacy that makes relationships last - humanity.

But understanding the impact of this societal messaging on your thoughts is essential for recovering from divorce and moving on with your life.

My work is focused on divorce recovery for men. And most of the men I see feeling broken after their divorce believe one of two things:

That they failed to be a “good enough” man.
That women are insane and they’ll never be loved because women aren’t capable of love.

The first group struggles with depression and self doubt that stops them from healing and moving forward. They are paralyzed by self doubt.
