There's No Room for Shame in Divorce! Detangling Cultural and Religious Stigmas From the Decision to Divorce

Modern Family Matters

Join us as we sit down with family law attorney, Kimberly Brown, to discuss the cultural and religious stigmas that have historically clouded divorce with a sense of shame, and why it's time to shed this thinking and view divorce through a healthier lens. In this interview, Kimberly discusses the following:
• Is Guilt Different Than Shame?
• How divorce tends to put people at high risk for feeling shame, largely due to lingering stigmas that still surround divorce.
• America’s cultural DNA and how it influences how we think of divorce.
• Why divorce is thought of differently for men and women.
• How the shame of getting divorced can perpetuate domestic violence.
• Theology and religion’s history surrounding divorce.
• “Until Death Do Us Part”: Its history and contribution about shame and divorce.
• Do some Judeo and Christian texts understand and permit divorce?
• The many words for love in Hebrew/Aramaic.
