You are treating your divorce like a project at work. You are trying to analyze it, strategize your way out of it, and "logic" away the pain. But no matter how many books you read or podcasts you listen to, you still feel stuck.

Why? Because you are trying to treat a broken heart like a math problem.

Today, we are doing the heavy psychological lifting with Dr. Chet Sunde. We break down the critical difference between treating anxiety and processing true emotion. Most men are conditioned to be problem-solvers, which means when grief hits, we immediately retreat into our heads to figure it out. Dr. Sunde explains why this "logic trap" actually prolongs your suffering and keeps you disconnected from the very feelings you need to process to move forward.

If you are exhausted from overthinking your divorce and want to finally understand how to get out of your head and into your recovery, this is the episode you need.

In this episode, we cover:

• Anxiety vs. Emotion: The physiological difference between spinning in your thoughts and actually processing grief.
• The Logic Trap: Why your elite problem-solving skills are actually working against your emotional recovery.
• Getting Out of Your Head: Practical ways to safely connect with what you are feeling in your body without getting overwhelmed.
• The Internal Family Systems (IFS) Lens: How different "parts" of us try to protect us from the pain of the divorce by using over-analysis and anxiety.
• Fixing vs. Feeling: How to drop the urge to "fix" the situation so you can actually heal from it.

Guest Bio: Dr. Chet Sunde is a psychologist and provider who specializes in helping individuals navigate profound life transitions, emotional processing, and deep psychological recovery.
