Aniston-Pitt. Richards-Sheen. Simpson-Lachey. Romijn-Stamos.
Hollywood is buzzing with divorce in the headlines, and while
the world gawks at the 'news,' one vital thing is missing....
HEALTH ADVICE for the over-stressed women of divorce who have
even more stress if they are going through their divorce in the
Hollywood spotlight. Emotional, mental/psychological, spiritual,
physical and sexual health. Author, Amy Botwinick, Author of
"CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR DIVORCE: The Road To Finding Your
Happily Ever After" is pro-actively gathering a collective
network of health professionals together to help share the
message about the effects divorce can have on the mind, body and
spirit. From promoting vibrators via her website
www.divorcesextoys.com; to her book and the long list of
resources and information at www.todaysdivorcedwoman.com,
Botwinick's mission of benefiting women's shelters with the
proceeds from book and product sales, while generating constant
messages about health, safety and well-being is her own journey,
as a divorced woman helping women. Dr. Joan Torgersen Magill,
Licensed Psychologist/Licensed Marriage and Family
Therapist/Certified Sport Psychologist describes Botwinick's
book as "essential" for women considering or going through a
divorce. "As a stress management specialist, this clinician
endorses her writings for the stress reduction possibilities,
alone, though there is much else here, as well," states Magill.
Botwinick explains how women going through divorce, like
Jessica Simpson can benefit from stress reduction. "Stress is a
by product of a primitive instinct called "fight or flight" that
helped us escape dangerous situations during our prehistoric
past. Women of divorce can range from young brides like Simpson,
to women who have been married for years and into their fifties
- divorce does not differentiate by age or celebrity, especially
when it comes to stress, effects on health and safety. I'm here
to share information. If I had just five minutes with Jessica
Simpson, I would tell her about sexual safety and stress, first
and foremost. She has a stressful profession - and particularly
with her and Lachey going through their divorce in the
'Hollywood spotlight' - added stress. If the level of stress
created over a prolonged period of time is ignored, it can cause
life threatening illness and symptoms that can create
considerable consequences mentally and physically. In terms of
sex - we all commended Simpson for being a virgin when she got
married, but not being married anymore doesn't mean she has to
deny her God-given sexual urges. That's why vibrators are a
safe-sex alternative, when emotionally healing during a
divorce."
While the message of safe sex is NOT a new one, it may be a
message worth re-exploring for women of divorce, who have been
in monogamous relationships with their spouse. "As the divorced
woman re-enters the dating scene, it is essential to realize
that along with the excitement and pleasure found in a new
relationship, there are potential dangers that accompany
physical intimacy. There are roughly 70 million people infected
with one of 25 sexually transmitted diseases. These diseases do
not discriminate based upon age or marital status. However,
transmission is almost always preventable. Be smart, be safe,
and do not be afraid to consult your gynecologist for any
questions regarding STD prevention," states Dr. David Lubetkin,
who is an OBGYN. Botwinick as a divorced woman and as a
chiropractor for twelve years, says she's discovered many
wonderful conventional and unconventional ways to heal on all
levels. "I have treated many chiropractic patients with physical
symptoms resulting from stress resulting from divorce. Patient
complaints included tension headaches, migraines, back pain,
muscle tightness, TMJ, upset stomach, nervous twitches and more.
. As a primary health care provider I believe every patient
should have a team of traditional and alternative healing
professionals available to them along their journey, especially
as they transition through the uncoupling process," states
Botwinick.
Botwinick practices what she preaches. She sought out the help
of Dr. Brian Sheen, Executive Director of The Quantum Healing
Center, Delray Beach Florida (www.spiritgrowth.com) for her own
wellness and divorce recovery. "Divorce is powerful time for
personal reassessment to look within for healing and growth.
Unless a deep search of the underlying issues that brought you
into the relationship and then out of it are undertaken with
professional direction, the chances are there will be piles of
blame, regret and resentment that will distort and prevent a
healthy relationship in the future," states Sheen.
This first-time author shares her own journey in a helpful
girlfriend-to-girlfriend conversational guide to help women
through the divorce process and beyond. Botwinick is currently
enjoying her "happily ever after." She is a divorced mother of
two, and has been a chiropractor for the last twelve years and
has held a teaching position at a local college. Her business
for over a decade has been about listening, learning and helping
others. Amy's research and writing convey a directness and
honesty that comes from personal experience. There are over two
million divorces in the U.S. each year. Cinderella's prince
charming has either turned into a toad or run off with Sleeping
Beauty. Left in the pixie dust are millions of women looking in
the mirror each morning wondering, now what? CONGRATULATIONS ON
YOUR DIVORCE: The Road to Finding Your Happily Ever After
(Health Communications, Inc.; December 2005; $12.95) by Amy
Botwinick explores all facets of divorce: from making the
decision, surviving the legal battles and getting on with life.
Through the author's own experiences and those of other women,
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR DIVORCE prepares readers for the road
ahead: how to get through the business of divorce with humor and
aplomb, get beyond the bitterness and on to a healthy, happy
life.
This is not another dry book about the process of divorce from
a lawyer or psychologist. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR DIVORCE is fun
and uplifting and for women only. The author shares her own
struggles, emotional foibles and stories from others, to help
the reader through her own emotions. A special section on the
male perspective opens the door to the workings of the male
mind, helping readers find some common ground with their ex or
soon-to-be ex, making an easier transition to "uncoupling."
Sections of the book include: Making peace with your decision,
taking stock of the financial situation, dealing with reactions
from family and friends, the legal three-ring circus, forgiving
and letting go, dating and new relationships, and telling and
helping the children.
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR DIVORCE is a breath of fresh air that
helps the reader transform her feelings of being trapped to
feelings of empowerment. It describes the world of
divorce--warts and all--with some much-needed comic relief and
heart. The reader will realize she's not alone as she learns how
other women have coped with the emotional craziness of
uncoupling, jettisoned their emotional baggage, and gotten back
on the road to defining and finding their happily ever after.
