Tamara Schoon interviewed me about Rebuilding Life After Divorce on her podcast. Listen to the full episode here. Below is the episode description.
Divorce hits men particularly hard, doubling their suicide risk while offering them fewer support resources than women typically receive. Dr. Eran Magen, Assistant Clinical Professor at Yale School of Medicine, draws from both professional expertise and personal experience to address this crisis through his work at DivorcingDads.org.
The conversation explores why men struggle so profoundly after divorce – often isolating themselves rather than seeking support, feeling like failures, and facing challenging custody situations. Dr. Magen breaks down his comprehensive approach built on four essential pillars: navigating legal matters (especially custody arrangements), developing effective co-parenting strategies, strengthening practical parenting skills, and rebuilding a fulfilling personal life.
We dive deep into the complexities of dating after divorce when children are involved. When should you start dating again? How do you introduce new partners to your children? What conversations should you have with kids of different ages? Dr. Magen offers thoughtful, practical guidance grounded in child development and relationship psychology.
