You can do that via a Find/Replace for paragraph breaks, then examining them. To what end are you trying to find them?

We wanted to replace period style separator with style separator period. It's an over 100 page document

I would have thought you could search for a ^p that is hidden but that doesn't work. Typically a style separator is followed by a space and it would be poor practice if regular paragraphs began with a space so you could use that quirk to search on.
Find ".(^13) "
Replace "\1. "
Use wildcards on

Failing that, is there some other consistent attribute you could search for eg all style separators are Heading 2
