Divorce Coaching  

"We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person."
-W. Somerset Maugham



Divorce coaching is different from counseling ... 

As a divorce coach in the collaborative practice, I work with individuals to address the emotional, behavioral and spiritual issues that arise during the course of separation and divorce. We will be working on identifying options and solving problems as they relate to your divorce, and working with the other professionals involved, actively participating in the drafting of your Marital Settlement Agreement.

Questions arise as you are faced with one of life's most challenging stressors ... divorce:

How do I start a new life after so many years of marriage?
How will my children handle this?
Will I ever recover from the loss?
Who should I tell about the divorce, and when?
Am I to blame?
Will I survive financially and emotionally?
How will we relate to each other during and after the divorce?
In each individual divorce, I work as part of  a  collaborative team (the two parties, two attorneys, two coaches for each party, and a financial neutral). Divorce coaching typically is utilized during the collaborative divorce process and terminates when the divorce is final.  Some individuals opt to contract for coaching after the divorce; that is done on an individual basis.

Whether you are going through a divorce, are separated, or contemplating either, as a divorce coach, I can help you:

  • Make sense of the breakdown of your marriage.  This is essential to "moving forward" and eventually starting a new life.  Typically, people blame either themselves or their spouse for the divorce.  This one-sided thinking does not help facilitate the grieving process or foster insight about what needs were unmet in the relationship. 

  • Express feelings related to the divorce and breakdown of your marriage.  Bottling up emotions tends to lead to acting out impulsively, which is unproductive and often regretful. During your divorce and separation process, you will be faced with decisions that will impact you, your spouse, and your children for years to come. You will find that expressing feelings and sorting them out in coaching sessions helps clarify your values & goals, which is essential to making decisions with intelligence and integrity.
  • Acquire essential skills for effectively coparenting your children.  Redefining your relationship with your children's other parent is absolutely essential to their well being and stability. No matter what s/he has done to disappoint or anger you, the children will thrive ONLY if you can separate your feelings from their need for two healthy parents. 

There is life after divorce.  I can help you redefine your self, your most important relationships, and to rebuild and design your new life.
