What Is A Divorce Coach?
We understand that divorce is never been an easy process. However, there are different options when it comes to the divorce process, and one of those options is collaborative divorce, which can be less emotionally draining than traditional divorce. During a collaborative divorce, you will work with a multitude of people, ranging from collaborative divorce attorneys and divorce coaches, as well as a financial expert and, if needed, a child specialist.
Most people, when going through a collaborative divorce, wonder what a divorce coach is and whether it differs from a divorce attorney. The short answer is yes, they are different. A collaborative divorce coach can be defined as a licensed mental health professional. This can include a social worker, psychologist, or marriage/family therapist.
To become a collaborative divorce coach, one must undergo intensive specialized training. Additionally, each spouse will have their own coach to assist them throughout the collaborative divorce process. This can help the clients control their emotions and communicate more effectively with one another. After the divorce is settled, a collaborative divorce coach may continue to assist their client.
How To Move On From A Divorce?
Recovering from a divorce is a difficult experience for most who go through it. Most people experience a range of emotions when going through a divorce. The emotions can range from shock, denial, anger, ambivalence, depression, and recovery.
For many, it’s important to recognize that these emotions can come into play, and parties often experience them at some point. Family therapists generally surmise that it can take a long time to fully move past the divorce. Some research shows it can take years to fully recover.
We believe that clients understanding the emotions one might experience is important for individuals going through a divorce. It is critical that individuals give themselves the time they need to move forward productively in their life.
We can help get you to a therapist or family counselor if you are having a difficult time in a divorce. In some cases, we can even get you to a divorce coach who can help you work through the stages of grief that you might experience after a divorce.
