A Complete Guide to Dating After Divorce

/0 Comments/by

I know! Dating after divorce can feel overwhelming…I have been there!

But know that dating again is all about new beginnings. It’s a chance for you to step out of who you were and into the rest of your life. It’s also a time to rebuild confidence, clarify your relationship goals, and embrace new opportunities.

Let me share with you some important steps to navigate dating with clarity and confidence. Whether it’s setting boundaries, recognizing healthy patterns, or balancing modern tools like apps, the key is to prioritize your well-being while exploring new possibilities.

3 Lies About Dating After Divorce (That Keep You Stuck)

#1 – Make Sure You Are Emotionally Ready.

Emotional readiness doesn’t follow a set timeline – it’s about being honest with yourself. Research from the Gottman Institute makes it very clear that people who start new relationships before fully healing often just repeat mistakes from their past relationships [2].

Ask yourself: Have I truly processed my divorce? Do I feel content with my life as it is? Am I able to enjoy my own company? If you can think about your past without overwhelming resentment or sadness, it’s a strong sign that you’re ready to move forward.

It is key that you pay attention to your emotional responses to where you are in your post-divorce healing. If thoughts of your divorce still bring up intense anger, anxiety, or sadness, it might be a sign you need more time to heal. Feeling at ease with yourself and your life is one of the clearest signals that you’re ready to date again.

#2 – Stay positive.

Your mindset can shape your entire dating experience. Instead of viewing your divorce as a failure, try to see it as a learning experience that taught you more about yourself and what you need in a partner. Practice self-compassion and remind yourself that your worth isn’t tied to the end of your marriage.

Make sure you engage in activities that make you feel good about yourself. Surround yourself with supportive friends and family who encourage your growth. Remind yourself regularly that you are awesome to shift your focus from past setbacks to the resilience and wisdom you’ve gained.

With this positive outlook, you can treat each dating experience as an opportunity to learn, not as a judgment of your value. With the right mindset, you can approach this new chapter with clarity and optimism.

#3 – Identify What You Want from Dating.

Knowing what you want from dating can save you from unnecessary confusion or frustration. Before you start to date, think about whether you’re looking for casual companionship, a potential long-term relationship, or just friendship.

Its very important to take note of your non-negotiables – the qualities and values that are most important to you in a partner. At the same time, consider any deal-breakers, like dishonesty or disrespect. Being clear about these things upfront can help you avoid mismatched expectations.

Also important to be realistic about your current situation. Whether you’re managing co-parenting duties or a hectic work schedule, acknowledging these realities can help you set practical expectations for your dating life. If you set out determined to find a new love and you truly don’t have the time one needs to do focused dating, you are only going to let yourself, and others, down.

#4 – Rebuild your Confidence and Self-worth.

Taking care of yourself is not indulgent – it’s a crucial step in rebuilding your emotional strength. Self-care helps lay the foundation for a healthier mindset and renewed self-worth.

Self care can take many forms, depending on what feels good to you.

Mindfulness meditation is a simple yet effective way to reduce stress and boost self-awareness. Just 10–20 minutes a day can help you process emotions more calmly and develop a kinder view of yourself.

Physical activity is another powerful tool for boosting confidence. Whether you prefer a brisk walk around your neighborhood, a yoga class, or hitting the gym a few times a week, exercise releases endorphins that naturally lift your mood and energy levels. Feeling stronger physically often translates into feeling more confident overall.

Exploring new interests and developing new skills can be incredibly empowering. Trying something you’ve always been curious about – whether it’s photography, cooking, or joining an art class – can reignite your passions and give you a renewed sense of purpose. One of my clients, after ending a 15-year marriage, took art classes and joined support groups. Within a year, she rediscovered her confidence, set clear boundaries, and felt ready to date again [4][1].

Reconnect with friends and family who encourage your growth, and consider joining support groups – whether in-person or online – where you can share experiences and gain valuable insights. If self-care and support from loved ones aren’t enough, don’t hesitate to reach out to a licensed therapist or coach for additional guidance [4][3].

#5 – Learn How to Use Dating Apps Safely and Effectively.

Chances are that the dating world has changed quite a bit since you were last in the mix. Understanding what that looks like and how to navigate it is key piece of being ready to date again. And this means understanding how to use dating apps!

Dating apps have become one of the most common ways to meet potential partners in the United States. If the idea of using them feels daunting, it might help to think of these platforms as tools that, when used thoughtfully, can connect you with like-minded people.

Start by creating a profile that feels genuine and current. Use recent photos that show who you are today. Include a mix: a clear headshot with a smile, a full-body shot, and a couple of pictures that reflect your hobbies or interests. Skip group photos where it’s hard to tell who you are, and avoid heavily edited images that don’t match your real-life appearance.

When writing your bio, aim for specifics. Mention hobbies, interests, or unique details about yourself that can spark conversation. This makes it easier for potential matches to connect with you on a personal level.

When messaging, reference something from their profile to show genuine interest. After a few engaging conversations, suggest meeting in person to see if there’s a real connection. If you find that the person you are chatting with doesn’t want to meet after a few conversations, walk away. Don’t waste your time on someone who doesn’t make an effort!

A key part of online datings is this safety! Always meet in public spaces, arrange your own transportation, and let a trusted friend know your plans! Only you can take care of yourself in these dating situations – so be smart!

#6 – Know How to Spot Red Flags and Green Flags

Your past relationships can teach you a lot about what to look for – and what to avoid – in new ones. Paying attention to behavioral cues early on can save you from unnecessary heartache. These, in dating terms, are known as red flags (which means STOP) and green flags (which mean GO).

Red flags to watch for include:

*Someone who rushes into intimacy, whether emotional or physical, too quickly. Beware of love bombing – excessive flattery or attention right from the start which can sometimes lead to controlling or manipulative tendencies.

*Someone who talks negatively about their exes. This might signal unresolved issues.

*Inconsistent communication is another warning sign. If someone is attentive for a few days and then disappears without explanation or frequently cancels plans, it means they aren’t prioritizing you.

Green flags to watch for include

*Behaviors that suggest a partner is worth investing in. Look for someone who communicates openly and consistently, respects your boundaries, and shows genuine interest in getting to know you.

*Emotional availability, that the person is comfortable sharing their feelings, asks thoughtful questions about your experiences, and allows the relationship to progress at a pace you’re comfortable with.

DON’T ignore red flags, thinking that you can ‘“fix” someone. What you see right now is who they are. If you see a red flag, listen to your gut and walk away!

#7 – Makes Sure You Actually Have the Time to Date.

Dating takes a lot of time and energy and life doesn’t pause for it, especially after divorce. Whether it’s co-parenting, work, or personal commitments, finding time for romance requires being honest, wiht.

If you’re co-parenting, be upfront with potential partners about having children and your custody schedule. While you don’t need to share every detail right away, being honest helps set realistic expectations from the beginning.

Balancing dating with work and personal life also means setting clear boundaries. Ask yourself if you can do your work well and date. Now is not the time to let your work suffer! Let potential partners know when you’re most available from the get go, to prevent this from happening!

And DON’T drop those people who have supported you over the course of your divorce. They were there for you before you started dating and will be there again. A new love won’t fix everything – thats what your people, both personal and professional, are there for.

Let Your Dreams Begin

Dating after divorce is an opportunity to not only find a new relationship but also a chance to rediscover yourself and define what you truly want in a relationship.

Remember, there’s no set timeline for when to start dating after divorce. Factors like the length of your marriage, the circumstances of your separation, and your personal coping strategies will all play a role in your readiness to take the next step. Focus on consistent self-care, building a strong support network, and embracing personal growth to guide your healing process [4][6].

Once you’ve regained your sense of self and feel comfortable being alone, you’ll be ready to approach modern dating with clarity and confidence. When you truly appreciate who you’ve become, you’ll be better equipped to connect with someone who values you just as much.

5 Ways to Build Self-Confidence After A Break Up

/0 Comments/by

 

Loss can shatter your confidence, leaving you questioning your identity and decisions. I get it! I have been there!

But, rebuilding takes time – you can and will feel better! I promise.

Taking small, deliberate steps can help you reconnect with your inner strength and help you heal!

Let me share some now!

Tips To Rebuild Self Confidence When You Are Grieving

#1 – Accept Your Grief and Emotional Response

Rebuilding confidence after a loss doesn’t start with forcing yourself to move on – it begins with giving yourself permission to feel. Grief isn’t a sign of weakness, nor is it something you need to rush through. It’s your mind and body’s natural way of processing a profound change, and trying to suppress or avoid it often makes the road to recovery even harder.

When you suppress your emotions or try to fast-track your healing, you send yourself the message that your feelings don’t matter. This can erode your self-trust. On the other hand, accepting your grief isn’t about giving up; it’s about channeling your energy toward genuine healing.

Make space for your emotions without judging them. If sadness hits, let it flow through you instead of immediately trying to distract yourself or “snap out of it.” When anger arises, acknowledge it rather than burying it. Acceptance doesn’t mean you have to act on every feeling – it means you’re respecting your emotional reality.

Remember that your grief is personal. How you process your loss will be as unique as the relationship or situation you’re mourning. Avoid comparing your journey to someone else’s – they just aren’t the same.

#2 – Be mindful of your feelings.

The pain of a break up can pull you into a loop of regret and fear, bouncing between reliving past losses and dreading the unknown future. If you can work to be aware of these feelings, it will can help you step out of those thought patterns and engage fully with what’s happening right now [1].

If you are aware of your feelings, you will be less likely to act rashly but instead have a more thoughtful response to your emotions. By doing this, you will build your self confidence which will help you feel stronger and more able to feel the feelings. This shift helps normalize your experience, making it easier to believe in your ability to handle life’s challenges [3].

Getting started doesn’t require anything fancy. You might spend 10 minutes each morning focusing on your breath or take a quiet walk, paying attention to the sights and sounds around you. You could also journal and record your emotions and how you acted on them. These simple practices can make a big difference [1].

Emotions aren’t enemies – they’re signals meant to be understood. By learning to experience and process them without resistance, you may uncover a resilience you didn’t know you had [2]. Over time, this awareness becomes a foundation for rebuilding confidence after a loss.

#3 – Set Small, Achievable Goals

When you’re grappling with loss and your confidence takes a hit, setting small, manageable goals can be a game changer. It’s easy to feel like you can’t accomplish anything meaningful, but these tiny steps can help you rebuild trust in yourself.

By focusing on small, consistent wins, you remind yourself that you’re capable of taking action, even when things feel uncertain [6]. Each success – no matter how minor – reinforces your ability to move forward. This creates momentum, encouraging you to set simple, realistic goals that are within reach.

Think of these goals as promises to yourself. When you fulfill them, you’re actively rebuilding the trust and confidence that may feel lost. Simple tasks like cooking a meal, going for a short walk, meditating for two minutes, or finishing a book can make a big difference [1]. The beauty lies in their simplicity and your commitment to following through.

“Every goal achieved is a step towards regaining your confidence in your abilities.” – Heather Stang, MA, C-IAYT [1]

The real key is keeping those small promises to yourself. If you say you’ll take a walk, take the walk. If you commit to calling a friend, make the call. Every completed goal fuels your momentum, making larger challenges feel less daunting [5][6]. What once felt impossible starts to seem doable, one small victory at a time.

4. Take Stock of Setbacks and Reframe Failure

After experiencing loss, it’s easy to feel like every misstep is a sign of weakness. But here’s the reality: setbacks aren’t proof that you’re failing – they’re part of the process of healing. Learning to see these moments can turn them into opportunities for growth instead of reasons to give up. Setbacks often carry important lessons if you’re willing to look for them.

When you’re rebuilding after a break up, setbacks are bound to happen. Maybe grief feels heavier on certain days, or you struggle to meet a small goal you set for yourself. Instead of labeling these moments as failures, think of them as insights into your healing process. They’re not roadblocks – they’re reminders to adjust your approach.

Each time you face a setback, ask yourself: Did I overextend myself? Do I need more support? Shifting your mindset from self-criticism to curiosity can make a huge difference. Instead of thinking, I’m not making any progress, try asking, What can I learn from this?

Reframing failure can be as simple as saying, “This didn’t go as planned, and that’s okay.” This small shift helps cut down on self-judgment and creates room for growth. It’s important to remember: failure doesn’t define your worth – it’s just feedback for what might need tweaking.

Be kind to yourself, especially in moments of struggle. Treat yourself with the same compassion you’d offer someone you care about. Keep the bigger picture in mind. Healing isn’t a straight path – it’s full of ups and downs. But every setback adds to your resilience. There’s wisdom in every stumble that can make you more self-aware and stronger in the long run.

# 5 – Journal, Journal, Journal

Writing down your thoughts and feelings can be one of the most effective ways to rebuild confidence after experiencing loss. Journaling provides a private, judgment-free space to explore your emotions, helping you navigate the complicated feelings that often accompany grief. It’s about putting your truth on paper and allowing your journal to become a tool for processing what you’re going through.

“Journaling can be a powerful tool in rebuilding self-trust after a loss. It provides a safe space for you to express your emotions, explore your thoughts, and reflect on your journey.” – Heather Stang, MA, C-IAYT [1]

This process not only helps you make sense of your emotions but also strengthens your ability to trust your own decisions.

There are many things that you can do while you journal – its not just all about capturings your “feelings.” You can express your grief by writing a letter to the person you’ve lost or to the relationship that has ended. Say what you wish you could have said, share your feelings about their absence, or simply talk about your day.

Make sure to celebrate your daily wins, no matter how small they may seem. Each day, jot down three things you accomplished – whether it’s getting out of bed, preparing a meal, or having a meaningful conversation. These small victories remind you of your strength and help rebuild trust in your abilities.

Finally, envision your future by writing about where you’d like to be in six months or a year. What changes would you like to see? What small, manageable steps can you take to move toward that vision? This exercise helps restore your confidence in making decisions and shows you that even in difficult times, positive change is possible.

I know that its hard to imagine ever feeling happy again but you WILL be!

Rebuilding self-confidence after experiencing loss is far from a straightforward process. The five strategies we’ve discussed – accepting your grief, practicing mindfulness, setting realistic goals, reframing setbacks, and journaling – serve as stepping stones toward emotional recovery and renewed trust in yourself. Each step takes patience and time.

Remember – your healing is uniquely yours, and it will unfold at its own pace.

If feelings of confusion, persistent anxiety, depression, or isolation begin to interfere with your daily life, consider seeking professional support from a therapist or a life coach. These emotions are common, but they don’t have to be permanent.

As Heather Stang, MA, C-IAYT, explains:

“Counselors and grief support groups can help normalize your feelings and give you skills to cope.” [1]

Help comes in various forms – whether through grief counselors, support groups, or tailored coaching programs designed to guide you through loss while rebuilding your confidence.

Remember – You are not alone in this journey. Many have walked this path, navigating heartbreak and rediscovering joy. You will too. All you have to do is take the first step!

Book Recommendations – 4 Books to Mend a Broken Heart

#1 – It’s Called a Breakup Because It’s Broken by Greg Behrendt & Amiira Ruotola-Behrendt

This book gets straight to the point: your relationship ended for a reason, and that’s actually a good thing. Written by Greg Behrendt, co-author of He’s Just Not That Into You, and his wife Amiira, this guide offers no-nonsense advice, from both male and female viewpoints, to help you cut through the emotional fog that often follows a breakup.

At the most basic level, the authors delivers a clear message: accept the breakup and move forward. They encourage readers to stop dissecting every moment or clinging to false hope, and instead embrace reality and focus on healing. This approach provides a solid foundation for practical, actionable steps toward recovery.

The book likens getting over a breakup to overcoming an addiction, emphasizing the importance of going through "withdrawal" to truly heal. Its blunt, often humorous tone makes it ideal for those who are ready to take action – even if their emotions are still catching up.

#2 – This Is Me Letting You Go by Heidi Priebe

Heidi Priebe’s This Is Me Letting You Go offers a thoughtful approach to navigating the aftermath of a breakup, one that is in complete contrast to It’s Called a Breakup. Instead of simply urging you to "move on," the book encourages deep self-reflection, using the end of a relationship as a chance to rediscover yourself and build self-love. Packed with exercises and reflection prompts, the book helps you identify relationship patterns, attachment styles, and codependency, and, thereby, uncover the roots of your emotional experiences.

These insights not only support personal growth but also lay the groundwork for creating healthier, more fulfilling relationships in the future.

#3 – Getting Past Your Breakup by Susan J. Elliott.

Susan J. Elliott’s Getting Past Your Breakup offers a straightforward and actionable guide for navigating the aftermath of a relationship. It’s not just about getting over someone – it’s about truly healing and building a stronger version of yourself.

At the heart of the book is something that is very near and dear to my heart, and the key to getting through a break up: the "no contact" rule. Cutting off communication with your ex might feel extreme or even painful at first, but it’s a necessary step to allow your emotions to settle and begin the healing process. Staying in touch can keep old wounds open, making it harder to move forward.

Elliott is not afraid to call out behaviors that might be holding you back – whether it’s clinging to unrealistic expectations or falling into self-destructive cycles. She delivers her message with a balance of empathy and honesty helps readers face hard truths while feeling supported.

"Part of moving on is about learning to love yourself, possibly for the first time. If you learn to truly enjoy your own company, you will be far less likely to choose bad relationships just for the sake of being in one." – Susan J. Elliott [2]

#4 – The Wisdom of a Broken Heart by Susan Piver

Susan Piver’s The Wisdom of a Broken Heart takes a totally different approach to navigating heartbreak – instead of urging readers to "move on" or distract themselves, Piver encourages embracing the pain as an opportunity for personal growth and self-discovery.

What sets this book apart is its focus on leaning into the discomfort rather than avoiding it. Piver understands that the end of a relationship can bring overwhelming emotional devastation. Rather than offering quick fixes or distractions, she suggests sitting with the pain and allowing it to fuel meaningful transformation. By sharing her own experiences with heartbreak she inspires her reader to take action.

#5 – Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert

When this book was first published, and was an international sensation, I refused to read it – because everyone else was doing it. And then, because I was desperate, I read it and it changed the trajectory of my life.

Eat, Pray, Love captures the author’s deeply personal journey of rediscovery and healing following a painful divorce.

The book chronicles a transformative year in Gilbert’s life as she travels to three countries: Italy, where she indulges in the simple joys of food and pleasure; India ,where she dives into spirituality and self-reflection; and Indonesia, where she seeks balance and connection, and finds love.

By telling her story, Gilbert shows how rebuilding a relationship with yourself often requires stepping into the unknown and embracing discomfort. She also clearly demonstrates that stepping outside of one’s comfort zones can inspire personal growth and healing.

#6 – The Journey from Abandonment to Healing by Susan Anderson

Susan Anderson’s The Journey from Abandonment to Healing takes a deep and empathetic dive into the emotional wreckage of heartbreak. As a psychotherapist with expertise in abandonment recovery, Anderson argues that all breakups through five stages: shattering, withdrawal, internalizing, rage, and lifting.

Anderson explains the science behind why heartbreak can feel like a physical wound and why the aftermath might resemble withdrawal symptoms. Recognizing that these intense reactions have a biochemical basis can bring a sense of relief during those overwhelming moments.

She also encourages her readers to break free from what she calls "protest mode" – that exhausting cycle of resisting reality, clinging to what’s lost, and being consumed by anger and longing – and to embrace acceptance by acknowledging their emotions and taking steps to move forward.

The book includes practical exercises aimed at managing pain and cultivating self-compassion, offering readers actionable tools to navigate their healing journey.

One reader, Toni Kohn, shared how the book profoundly impacted her during a difficult time:

"As an abandonment survivor, I recommend Susan’s work to those in the thick of despair. In the days I was at my worst, I remember reading The Journey from Abandonment to Healing, and it was the first time I felt understood, less alone, and with a road map out of the depths of despair. I am forever grateful and continue to follow her work."

  • Toni Kohn [3]

# 7 – The Happiness Trap by Russ Harris

Russ Harris’s The Happiness Trap, using principles from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), helps one work through tough emotions instead of fighting against them and offers practical tools to help manage emotional challenges effectively [7].

Harris argues that trying to suppress or escape negative feelings often makes things worse. After a breakup, it’s normal to feel sadness, anger, or anxiety – but the real issue arises when you resist these emotions or expect them to disappear instantly.

Russ suggest 5 key strategies to handle these emotions:

  • Defusion: This involves stepping back from negative thoughts. For example, instead of believing "I’m not good enough,” try reframing it as "I’m having the thought that I’m not good enough." This subtle shift can reduce the emotional weight of the thought [6]
  • Acceptance: Rather than pushing away uncomfortable feelings, feel them. Acknowledge that pain is part of being human, and much of our suffering comes from resisting what we feel [6]
  • Mindfulness: Staying present can stop the cycle of obsessing over the past or worrying about the future. [6]
  • Clarifying Your Values: Think about what truly matters to you beyond your relationship. Questions like "What kind of person do I want to be?" or "What do I stand for?" can help you identify your core values. [6]
  • Committed Action: Even if you’re feeling unmotivated, taking small, values-driven steps can create momentum. These actions, no matter how minor, help you align your life with what matters most [6].

While Harris’s method can not erase the pain of heartbreak, he offers tools to help you carry it more lightly. By embracing these techniques, you can turn emotional struggles into opportunities to build a life centered on your values and personal growth.

#8 – Feeling Good by David D. Burns

In Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy, David D. Burns outlines how Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can serve to dismantle negative thinking, something that, after a break up, can amplify emotional pain and make it harder to move forward.

One standout chapter, "Love Addiction," explores how distorted beliefs about rejection can trap you in cycles of hopelessness. By identifying these patterns, you can begin to see how your perspective on rejection might be holding you back from healing.

Although Feeling Good isn’t specifically about recovering from heartbreak, its CBT-based strategies offer valuable tools for breaking free from negative thought loops can play a key role in finding emotional balance after a breakup.

9. Rising Strong by Brené Brown

Rising Strong dives into the art of recovering from setbacks and building resilience through a straightforward three-step process: reckoning, rumble, and revolution.

In the reckoning phase, Brown encourages readers to identify their emotional triggers and observe their feelings without trying to suppress them. After all, recognizing and understanding your emotions is the first step toward healing.

The rumble phase is all about untangling the self-defeating stories we tell ourselves after a breakup and challenging those limiting beliefs and rewriting the story you tell yourself.

Finally, the revolution phase focuses on using the pain you’ve experienced to build emotional strength and authenticity in future relationships. It’s not about erasing the past or pretending the relationship didn’t matter but instead it’s about taking what you’ve learned and applying it to how you live and love moving forward.

The key to Brown’s perspective is her emphasis on vulnerability, something that reframes it as a source of strength rather than weakness, emphasizing that the willingness to risk being hurt again is essential for forming deep, meaningful connections.

Sometimes finding just the right book can help you get through your breakup and out the other side, even better than you were before.

Each of these titles offer a wealth of wisdom, each providing a unique approach to healing, ensuring there’s something for everyone, no matter where you are in your journey.
