Divorce Recovery
I’m trying to figure it all out, but I can’t.
In your head, you are separating your intertwined lives.
In your heart, disbelief reigns supreme.
The emotional turmoil is overwhelming and confusing but very real and ever-present.
How will this work?
Some days, you wake up with deep sadness; others, you are angry, swinging between relief and disbelief.
Blindsided or the one making the decision…
…regardless of ‘how’ you came to be in the upheaval of a divorce, the path is full of rocks. While some are uncomfortable pebbles, some are boulders, seemingly insurmountable.
Making the decision to end a marriage is as painful a process as discovering your partner wants a permanent separation.
Not only do you worry about yourself and your children, but the impact expands to worrying about the effects on friends and family.
Those monthly outings with your couple friends… not going to happen anymore.
The weekly family gatherings with first your family and then your partner’s – done.
Your entire life has been turned upside down.
No matter what your circumstances, divorce and separation are some of the most painful events a person may experience.
The process can elicit feelings of anxiety, anger, resentment, grief, and loss. The emotional roller coaster can affect your sleep, appetite, and your moods – all leading to affecting your quality of life.
Legal, emotional, and logistical decisions have to be made, but more often than not, you feel overwhelmed or in a fog.
The ending of this relationship feels traumatic and is both emotionally and physically challenging.
The prospect of going through this life transition on your own is too much, but you don’t want to involve others as their emotions are too much for you to handle.
Where do you get the support you need?
Therapy for Divorce, Pre-Divorce and Post-Divorce, is effective.
I can provide you with valuable help and guidance in rebuilding your life. You will have a safe and calm place to process your emotions, create a plan to move forward, and get to a place of healing.
Utilizing an emotionally focused approach alongside solution-focused therapy will give you an opportunity to identify and verbalize feelings while developing healthy coping and communication skills, addressing the emotional and practical aspects of your situation.
Get in touch with yourself again.
The more time you take to reflect and treat yourself gently, the more your recovery process will benefit your quality of life as you move forward.
This process will be filled with learning opportunities to develop a deeper understanding of your experience, the ways in which you and your partner contributed to the relationship, and what you would like to change in your future.
While you learn and practice healthy new coping and communication skills, you can gain a deeper self-understanding of your experience, improve your communication with others, decrease conflict, and manage your stress and anger.
Therapy can help you move past the pain and find real-life solutions.
Building emotional awareness and creating a centered and healthy future full of exciting possibilities is on your horizon.
