How to Date Without Abandoning Yourself (AGAIN)

grounding guided training for divorced women

learning self-trust in dating and relationships

The anxiety isn’t the problem.

Here’s the part most women don’t hear

Anxiety is often what happens after you’ve overridden your intuition, your body, or your deeper knowing in order to maintain connection.

Especially after divorce.

Divorce doesn’t create these patterns it reveals them.

Many women learned long ago how to adapt, accommodate, and carry emotional weight in relationships.


Marriage often reinforced that.


And dating after divorce can amplify it because safety, certainty, and identity have already been disrupted.

This isn’t a character flaw.


And it’s not something you fix by “trying harder” or “doing more work on yourself.”

It’s about learning self-trust often for the first time.

why this work exists

My story

After years of being intentionally single after my divorce, I met a man I genuinely believed might be my future husband.

On paper, everything looked right.

He was successful, attractive, and values-aligned. He went above and beyond — not just with dates or gestures, but with words I had longed to hear after years of being on my own post-divorce.

And yet, very early on, something in my body felt off

Nothing I could explain.
Nothing I could point to.
Just a quiet, persistent sense of unease.

Instead of listening to that, I told myself this must be what not settling looks like.
I told myself I was lucky.
I told myself I didn’t want to sabotage something good.

Even my body was speaking and still, I explained it away.

As we grew closer, he began to shut down emotionally.
What I eventually saw was that he could provide financially and perform care, but he couldn’t stay emotionally present when things became real.

The first time he shut me out completely, it activated my deepest fear of abandonment.

And because I understood his past and his trauma,

I started doing what so many self-aware women do:
I over-functioned.
I made excuses.
I took responsibility for his emotional limitations.

All the while, my anxiety got louder.

What I eventually realized with painful clarity was that my anxiety wasn’t the problem.

It was the cost.

The cost of abandoning myself.

That relationship didn’t show up to give me a partner.
It showed up to expose the one place I was still leaving myself so I could finally stop.

What self-trust changed for me

Today, because of this work:

I don’t make someone else’s behavior mean something about me.
I can notice anxiety without letting it run the show.
I honor my deeper wisdom instead of overriding it.
I don’t feel guilt for someone else’s discomfort.
I don’t make things easier for a man at the expense of my own well-being.
I stay open but I stay connected to myself.

That’s the difference.

Introducing the guided training

How to Date Without Abandoning Yourself (AGAIN)

This is a grounded, honest guided training for divorced women who want to feel calmer, clearer, and more anchored in themselves in dating and relationships without forcing outcomes or overriding their inner truth.

This work is not about becoming guarded, closed off, or hyper-vigilant.

It’s about staying open without losing yourself.

"What to Expect From This Guided Training".

This is not a high-energy training or a mindset reset.

This guided training is designed to feel grounding, spacious, and honest.

You can expect:

A calm, conversational teaching style not a performance.

Clear language that helps you name what you’ve been feeling without pathologizing it.

Space to reflect without being pushed to relive or “process” anything.

Real examples, not theories or tactics.

An emphasis on self-connection, not self-improvement.

You don’t need to prepare anything in advance.
You don’t need to take notes the whole time.
You don’t need to figure anything out.

Many women choose to listen while walking, resting, or sitting quietly allowing the insights to land in the body, not just the mind.

In this guided training, you’ll learn

What self-abandonment actually looks like in dating and relationships (and why self-aware women are especially prone to it).

Why anxiety is often a signal, not a failure.

How to tell the difference between anxiety and intuition.

How to pause sooner instead of over-explaining.

How to trust yourself without needing certainty or reassurance.

How to walk away calmly when something feels off without collapsing or self-doubt.

The goal isn’t perfection.
It’s internal safety, clarity, and self-respect.

When a woman finishes this guided training, the most common shift is simple but profound:

“I trust myself completely.”

This is about internal authority not external answers.
