Therapist, writer, and divorce support group leader Oona Metz joins Dishing on Divorce to talk about what so many women experience but rarely feel prepared for: the emotional journey of divorce.
With 30 years of clinical experience and 15 years specializing in divorce support, Oona shares why community matters, why the traditional grief model does not fully fit divorce, and how her Five Phases of Divorce Grief can help listeners feel less lost and more grounded. We also talk about language that increases shame, the hidden losses people grieve, and simple tools that regulate the nervous system when everything feels like too much.
Oona’s new book, Unhitched: The Essential Divorce Guide for Women, is a practical and compassionate companion packed with stories, exercises, resources, and real support for the road ahead.
