Navigating Life Post-Divorce / The Real Deal! – DIVORCE RECOVERY MEN OVER 40

 

In this insightful episode of the “Don’t Pick the Scab Podcast,” David welcomes Dr. Larry Waldman, a seasoned clinical forensic psychologist with over 45 years of experience, to discuss divorce recovery for men over 40. Dr. Waldman draws from his extensive background in family law, mental health, and even yoga to provide practical advice for navigating the emotional, psychological, and logistical challenges of divorce. He shares wisdom from his books, including “Love Your Child More Than You Hate Your Ex” and “Silver Sex: Insights into Senior Sexuality,” emphasizing the importance of self-reflection, healing, and prioritizing what truly matters post-divorce.
Dr. Waldman discusses the dangers of rushing into new relationships, the impact of acrimonious divorces on children, and the importance of recognizing one’s role in the breakdown of a marriage. He also explores how men can rebuild self-esteem through personal growth, fitness, and mindfulness practices like yoga. Whether dealing with loneliness, co-parenting challenges, or “gray divorce” later in life, Dr. Waldman offers actionable solutions to help men heal and thrive. His empathetic, no-nonsense approach reminds listeners that recovery takes time, effort, and sometimes seeking professional help to avoid repeating past mistakes.
