Divorce Coaching

It is one of the most destabilizing life events. According to various studies divorce is the SECOND most stressful experience that any adult will experience in a lifetime – followed only by the death of a spouse/loved one. (Marriage, by the way, came in at number 7 on the Holmes-Rahe Scale).

Divorce is, in fact, a bereavement process on many ways. There are many losses besides the obvious divisions of assets, finances, and time with kids. 

The feelings of loss can go much deeper – 

into the  murky waters of the unknown. 

And what people don’t know can cause much greater fear and stress than what they do know… But you are certainly not alone. About 40-50% of married couples will divorce. The rate is higher with subsequent marriages. The United States has the third highest divorce rate in the world. * 

As a person impacted by divorce, you are certainly not alone even if you may sometimes feel alone. You certainly don’t have to be.  

*I could never leave you hanging. Number two is Belarus and #1 is The Maldives according to a 2018 article by the American Psychological Association)

It is possible to make it out of the dissolution of a marriage not only surviving but also thriving.  As your Divorce Coach, I will support, guide and help you through every stage.  If you are just beginning to contemplate divorce, are in the middle of the process or you are living your new life after divorce, I can help  you can gain the clarity, confidence and courage to move forward in your journey.  

Divorce overwhelms everything.  Emotions intensify.  Change is everywhere. The fear of the unknown prevails.  Decision making affects the legal process, property and assets, parenting issues.  Managing your emotional journey through divorce will have the greatest impact on the legal and financial outcome of your divorce.  

You must be clear on your desired outcome.  The decisions you make during this time will affect the rest of your life so gathering information is critical.  The  overwhelming nature of divorce can challenge your cognitive abilities. 

As a Divorce Coach, I help you in all of these areas.  I help you help yourself.  Divorce Coaches provide guidance as you sort through your thoughts and emotions, help you utilize your problem solving skills and  prepare you mentally for the roller coaster of emotions.
