Divorce Coaching (Pre & During)
Finding strength and hope amidst life’s transition.
What is Divorce Coaching?
Divorce coaching is a specialized form of support designed to help individuals navigate the emotional, logistical, social, financial and legal challenges that accompany divorce. Divorce coaches serve as your “thinking partner” and are more than just your friend. We also work alongside the legal team you already have in place.
They are not full of judgment and suggestions from their own divorce. Instead, the certified divorce coach is well trained to listen deeply to you, with honor, ask powerful questions, and empower you to make informed decisions, set goals, and work towards a brighter future. They encourage you to find your own best solutions and path forward. A certified coach is not a therapist and does not do therapy. The coach helps you focus forward on preparing for mediation, settlement meetings, and court. The skilled coach views the client as a whole person who is eminently capable of figuring out her own life, wants and needs.
Many women have endured long marriages and raised children when the dreaded “D” word strikes. These women frequently envisioned retirement ten years down the road, but instead, find themselves middle-aged and dealing with the upheaval of an emotionally and financially complex divorce.
Empowering Midlife Women to Thrive Through Divorce & Beyond
A divorce coach can help quiet the chaos during the divorce process. As if our lives aren’t busy and complex enough, when a divorce is thrown into the mix it really accelerates what already seemed like warp speed living day to day. Divorce creates an even bigger sense of overwhelm and a coach can help you prioritize and keep things in perspective so you don’t feel like you might crack at any given moment or use alcohol as a crutch.
A Divorce Coach Can Assist You in Various Ways, Including:
Divorce coaches assist you in making informed decisions throughout the divorce process, from choosing a family lawyer and financial professional to managing the expenses of the divorce team.
Divorce coaches work with you to establish realistic goals for your post-divorce life. This may include financial planning, career development, or personal growth objectives.
Divorce coaches can help you improve communication with your ex-spouse, enabling more effective negotiation and minimizing conflict during the divorce process.
