Key Takeaways
1

Prioritize your mental health by seeking specialized therapy—especially trauma-focused modalities like EMDR—before making major life decisions.

2

It's okay to pause and create space for healing; you don’t need to have all the answers right away.

3

Your child’s feelings matter, but they are not the sole decision-makers—your role as a parent is to protect their long-term well-being, not just their immediate comfort.

4

Attachment styles (anxious, avoidant, fearful) can explain patterns in relationships and offer a roadmap for healing.

5

Co-parenting requires proactive communication and planning—especially during predictable high-stress times like work travel.
