“How will I ever get through this divorce?”

With your divorce officially underway you have been hit with unbelievable overwhelm.  When you think about navigating the legal aspects of divorce, you really just want to crawl under a rock until the whole ordeal is over. For this very reason, divorce coaching has been recognized by the American Bar Association as a form of alternative dispute resolution. 

Divorce transition coaching is about managing stress during divorce proceedings so that emotions do not drive your decisions.  Your coach walks alongside you ensuring you have a clear  head and an abundance of patience during this part of the process.  If there was ever a time to think critically it is now, as you try to expediently and efficiently reach a divorce settlement that does not break the bank or damage your relationships.

You are probably having some of these scary thoughts right now:

  • Your kids need you now more than ever, but you feel distracted and scared

  • How could you ever hand over control and trust to your ex on his parenting time?

  • You are totally disorganized and your divorce lawyer is constantly breathing down your back for financial disclosure and discovery

  • Your ex managed the finances and/or was the breadwinner,  you don’t know the first place to start

  • You lost yourself in the marriage and can’t make a decision to save your life

  • Conflict with your spouse is at an all time high, you can’t help saying and doing things you regret

  • Self care and wellness is literally at the bottom of your priority list as your life blows up

Divorce coaching is exactly what you need

I was in your shoes once and can testify to how scary and crippling the uncertainty is. Coaching is the exact modality you need to get from A to B and pick up some valuable life skills while you are at it. I mean, there is a reason that the American Bar Association endorses coaching.

  • I am so glad you asked and I will answer it with my favorite metaphor. Imagine you are going on a trip, you need to pack, get through the airport chaos, and make your flight. Your therapist is going to help you sort through all that baggage, figure out what to pack and what to leave behind. Your divorce coach, on the other hand, is going to help you fight the crowds at the airport and make it to your flight. In other words, therapy is about coming to terms with our past, coaching is about taking some action and getting you from A to B.

  • Another great question and an important one at that. A divorce coach will provide education and resources to simplify the process and make your divorce a little less intimidating. A divorce coach will absolutely not offer legal advice or suggest legal strategies. And let’s not forget the obvious, you get to unpack your worries and thoughts with your divorce coach at a fraction of the hourly rate your lawyer charges.
