Remind yourself of your partner's positive qualities and express your positive feelings out loud several times each day. Who is Terry? Terry Gaspard, MSW, LICSW I am a licensed therapist, college instructor, and non-fiction author, specializing in divorce, marriage, children, and relationships. I am a regular contributor to The Gottman Relationship Blog, Patheos.com, marriage.com, Huffington Post, TheGoodMenProject.com, DivorcedMoms.com, and DivorceMagazine.com. My book, Daughters of Divorce: Overcome the Legacy of Your Parents’ Breakup and Enjoy a Happy, Long-Lasting Relationship, was co-authored with my daughter Tracy and published by Sourcebooks in 2016. As a therapist, I am interested in helping people heal from the pain they experience related to divorce and other challenges and losses. My interest in the lives of women who grew up in divorced families began with my own experience. My passion for this topic grew as my clinical practice included many daughters of divorce and I experienced divorce. When I wrote Daughters of Divorce, I supplemented my clinical and personal experience by interviewing more than 300 hundred women raised in divorced families. My initial research study in 1995 included 198 women and I discovered that the loss of access to both parents was associated with low-self-esteem in daughters of divorce. Following that, I studied a larger, diverse sample of over 300 adults and examined issues such as interpersonal relationships, trust, family climate, and self-esteem. Both studies were published in the Journal of Divorce and Remarriage. My book, Daughters of Divorce, discusses findings from my research and offers poignant stories from the women I interviewed about their quest for fulfilling relationships that endure the test of time. My new book, The Remarriage Manual: How to Make Everything Work Better the Second Time Around, will be published by Sounds True in February of 2020. It provides powerful real-life stories, action steps, and strategies for the millions of couples who are taking a chance on love in a second (or third) marriage. Grounded in 100 in-depth interviews of remarried people, The Remarriage Manual gives readers a clear road map to better relationship skills so they can build the happy, long-lasting marriages they desire.

Our parents' divorce can have so many ramifications, some of which don't become apparent until well into adulthood. How do we face up to and understand the unprocessed pain of divorce? How do we build more successful relationships of our own? Terry Gaspard specialises in helping clients overcome the legacy of their parents' breakups in order to build strong, happy relationships. Terry is also an expert on second marriages - these have a higher divorce rate than first marriages, but with support and skills, can bring a huge amount of happiness.  Terry is a licensed therapist, author, and college instructor who works with children, adults, couples, and families. She also works from personal experience: her own parents divorced when she was ten, and she herself went through a divorce, and went on to make a very happy second marriage.

#009: "I guess they were hidden." This is how Terry Gaspard, MSW, LICSW explains her lack of essential skills in managing conflict during her first marriage. Building a "take two" life after divorce, Terry shares how healing from loss after the dissolution of a marriage is critical for opening you up to generously rebuild a new chapter of your life after your relationship ends. What blew me away most of all is how applicable all of what she teaches in this episode applies to every marriage, because we all enter a life partnership with baggage. In fact, it is perhaps through deconstructing the challenges of divorce and remarriage, we see more clearly how to build stronger, more resilient first marriages. And she gives us a compassionate reminder that marriages, all of them, give us plenty of “opportunities for conflict.” Indeed.

Kids and Body Image (0:00:00) We all have our insecurities, and it seems like the internet knows how to point them out.It'sso easy to compare ourselves to the people we see on Instagram. But, when our young kids see displays of what the world considers “perfect” bodies online, it can really have a negative impact on their own self esteem.We want to make sure our kids feel confident in their own skin and stop trying to live up to unrealistic body standards. So, we invited body image coach and fat activist, Amanda Martinez Beck, to teach us more about how to talk to our kids about body image.How to Stop Being Defensive (0:17:26) As humans we are social creatures. Even in the corona-days while we are social distancing, we still have to communicate and collaborate with our families,friends, and coworkers. But working together with others is easier said than done, especially when they disagree with us. In fact, when someone shares an opposing view, it's easy to get defensive rather than listen to what they have to say.

Avoiding Downward Spirals (0:00:00) Emotional downward spirals are real and happen more often than we probably think. When life gets so busy we can't keep up or when one bad thing happens after the next, it's easy to let ourselves fall into a spiral of negative thoughts and emotions. So how can we face the onslaught of hard circumstances that will undoubtedly happen in our lives without wanting to give up on everything? To answer this question we have Dr. Lara Fielding joining us on the show today. Dr. Fielding is a Clinical Psychologist specializing in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapies. She's here to discuss how we can fight negativity and keep our minds healthy.  The Remarriage Manual (0:20:29) Sadly, the divorce rate is extremely high in the U.S. Currently it's at 50 percent. However, second marriages have an even higher divorce rate at 60 percent.

We're lucky enough to have Wayne with us today to give us a behind the scenes look at the show.   At-Home Aches (0:50:39) There are some perks to working from the comforts of home. You can work in bed, on your porch, or even on your couch—the comfy possibilities are endless.

He's a physical Therapist and Ergonomic Specialists.   BoardGameGeek (1:07:36) With limited options for entertainment these days, we've seen traditional board games make a comeback.

But what are some other games we can play? To help us out we invited Eric Martin on the show today. He's part of the BoardGameGeek channel on YouTube.   Feng Shui (1:25:56) After spending so much time at home, you might be feeling the bug to reorganize different areas around the house.

The worldwide pandemic is no exception, and it threw off almost everyone's consumer habits in a matter of weeks. As the pandemic hit, we watched consumer madness unfold. We witnessed people buying hundreds of rolls of toilet paper at one time, dropping tons of money while online shopping the sales, and streaming more movies and TV shows than ever before. So, what does this mean for us and the future of our consumption? Today we're joined by Dr. Jorge Barraza , an associate professor of Consumer Psychology at USC, here with us to discuss how coronavirus has and will affect our consumer behavior.  Common Goals in Marriage (0:16:50)Times like quarantine have the potential to be tough on a marriage.

To answer these questions and provide some clarity is Terry Gaspard, a licensed clinical social worker, therapist, and author.  The Genius of Women (0:36:57)When we think “genius”, names like Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci, and Isaac Newton typically pop into our heads. These were all great men, however that's just it: they were all men. What about all of the genius women who made amazing strides in science, technology, literature, and more? Who are they, and why don't we know them as well as their male counterparts? To answer these questions, we invited Janice Kaplan to the show.

Here to give us some advice is tech consultant Anna Murray.  How to Eat Better While Isolated (1:11:42)At the beginning of our social isolation time, a lot of us thought that now would be a great time to get healthy. A couple of weeks in, and cake really seems like the best option for breakfast every day. So how can we use this time to break bad habits and eat better? Teri Secrest is a certified health and wellness coach and international keynote speaker who urges people to take control of their health naturally. We thought we could use some of that same urging today, so we've invited Teri on the show to help us out.  Dancing and Mental Health (1:27:08)Today happens to be International Dance day, so if you needed an excuse to bust a move, here it is! People dance for many reasons and occasions, but many don't realize that it comes with several benefits. One of the biggest being that it can improve our mental health.

Studies show that the odds of divorce for remarriages is higher than that for first marriages. Increased financial pressures, unfinished business with exes, the challenges of blending families, and more can strain second marriages to the breaking point. Dr. Terri talks with Terry Gaspard, a licensed therapist for over 30 years, blogger, and author of the new book, “The Remarriage Manual: How to Make Everything Work Better the Second Time Around.” Terry discusses the keys to a successful remarriage to help you build a strong connection for the long-haul.

Summary Brian Mayer talks about 10 ways to make marriage better the second time.  This is based on an article written by Terry Gaspard and published by the Gottman Institute.  We hope you enjoy today's episode.  For more information and additional resources please visit our website at http://www.theremarriedlife.com Today's Goodies We all know remarriage is different than the first marriage.  However, often we don't treat it differently and often we don't do anything differently.  This isn't necessarily anyone's fault, just that we have never been taught.  What if when you were growing up your parents prepared you for what divorce and a subsequent marriage would look like especially if they went through it.  Of course this is great in theory, but talking about that before it happens can put quite the damper on a first marriage if that hasn't happened.  What if they would devote a class in high school and or/college to the pitfalls of divorce and the difficulties that you would face in remarriage.  Again it sounds like by doing this we are not hoping for the best.  However, because 50% or more of marriages end in divorce and as we know the more you get married the higher the likelihood that you will get divorce, then it would stand to reason that a course or class to prepare would be helpful.  Would anyone take such a course?  Probably not, because who goes into a marriage thinking they are going to get divorced.  The number is probably pretty close to zero in less you are in it for something other than love.  So let's talk about 10 ways to make marriage better the second time around.  The article which will be linked in the notes below, is called 10 Rules for a Successful Second Marriage.  Build a culture of appreciation, respect, and tolerance Practice being vulnerable in small steps Create space for quality time Discuss expectations Prepare for conflict Have your primary role as a stepparent be a friend and supporter as a rather than a disciplinarian. Communicate Effectively Attune to each other.  This means giving your partner your full attention.  Open Ended Dialogue.  Do not make threats or ultimatums.  Practice Forgiveness Putting many or all of these into practice in your relationship can go a long way to ensuring that you have a better experience this time around.  Take out a sheet of paper and write down these 10 ways to make your relationship better.  Then rate each on a scale of 0-10 in how well you think you do these things.  So a “0” would mean I don't do this at all and a “10” means I do this perfectly.  Have your partner do this also.  If you are brave then ask your partner if he or she feels that your numbers are accurate.  Remember be gentle to each other through this process.     Resources: 10 Rules for a Successful Second Marriage Thanks For Listening! With so many things that take time in our lives, I more grateful than you know that you took time to listen to this podcast episode.  If you liked this episode and believe that it would be beneficial to a friend, family member, or colleague, please share it using the social media buttons on this page.

Today on Single Again! Now What? with Joanie & Steve, Terry Gaspard, of www.MovingPastDivorce.com, joins us to discuss her mission of helping women who grew up in divorced homes make healthy choices in their relationships.  (Steve helps represent for the male audience as well.) Terry and her daughter, Tracy Clifford,  are both daughters of divorce.  Together, they started their website because they believe that many women struggle silently and needlessly through divorce. Many daughters of divorce have trouble trusting their partners, fear their relationships will not succeed, and struggle with issues related to self-worth. A history of divorce in a girl’s childhood can predict ambivalence towards commitment in intimate relationships. With respect to divorce proneness, women whose parents divorced are more likely to enter marriage with lower confidence in the future of their marriage, potentially raising their risk of divorce. Even though divorce no longer carries its old stigma in our culture, it still hurts as much as ever. While people’s reasons for divorcing vary, there are many emotions and transitions that have to be dealt with as family members rebuild their lives. Recent evidence has demonstrated that divorced individuals have higher rates of depression, lower levels of life satisfaction, and more health problems than married people.  Terry shares her personal story of dealing with divorce and tells how their new website is helping women and daughters of divorce.
