Divorce and Mental Health

We live in a culture where divorce feels as normal as the air we breathe. It is believed that nearly 42%, at minimum, of first marriages will end in divorce. Throughout his semi-autobiographical movie, Marriage Story, writer-director Noah Baumbach depicted the very raw and real emotional stakes of such a process. How does something like divorce affect mental health? How does it affect self-worth? Or one’s value? We’re sitting down with Aaron White, of the Feelin’ Film podcast, to discuss his own journey with divorce. His own response to the mental health weight that came with such unfortunate circumstances. What makes Aaron’s story that much more important – he experienced divorce twice. Brace yourself for this extraordinarily personal episode of Victims and Villains!
