Recovering from divorce or separation can feel daunting.
This is particularly true when there’s not enough money, time, or support to do what you need and want to do. But with the support of a trained professional, this period can be one of the richest of your life.
If we pay attention, being part of a committed relationship teaches us much about ourselves. Even when it ends, as painful as that can often feel, you can learn even more. Hopefully, you can step back and notice all kinds of things more objectively.
It’s easy to be flooded with thoughts, feelings, and judgments about yourself and your ex, feel like a failure, and think you should have known something you didn’t know. You may ask yourself if it’s your fault. That’s a lonely place to sit.
Maybe instead, you blame your ex for everything or most everything. Anger may be easier to deal with than self-blame or despair, but you don’t need to settle for either.
There is hope for recovery!
Your intention to heal, grow, and understand can be the foundation of your new life. I’ll be there to encourage you, remind you of who you are, help you discover what you want in this new phase of life, and support you in learning to forgive yourself for not knowing what you didn’t know.
It takes courage to face our mistakes, particularly at a vulnerable time when it can feel like our lives are falling apart. That’s why having a coach or counselor walk this path with you is so helpful.
You may have many complicated feelings and situations in the beginning, middle, and even the later phases of this process. Lots of plans need to be made, and new arrangements figured out. It’s a time to think about who you are with or without a partner. And if you’re also a parent, it’s a time to learn to parent in new ways with new challenges.
It’s a time to acknowledge the pain and confusion of some of the dynamics and confusions you face and use them to activate personal growth. People who take the time to figure out what they‘ve learned and their contribution to the stuck places can move on to another phase of life with more wisdom and compassion.
Moving forward is possible.
There are proven steps you can take to move forward in this journey. These steps will help you move forward with as much ease as possible.
Eventually, when you are ready, those steps will help you create a joyful, peaceful life as a single person.
With my support as your guide, this period can be one of the richest of your life.
