The Emotions Change Can Cause
Change causes people to feel a range of emotions, like stress, anxiety, anguish, and sadness. Some individuals may feel the whole range of emotions, while some may only be stuck on one.
A party needs to deal with all these emotions. Seeing a counselor or other mental health professional during a divorce can help. No one should be ashamed about seeking help in a difficult time in their life. Rather than a sign of weakness, it is a sign of strength.
Dealing With Emotions
Ultimately, dealing with the emotions early in the process can help lead a party to a logical place. Logic allows people to make rational decisions. Ultimately, this can help a party make the correct decisions in terms of deciding what settlement terms might be advantageous, whether to settle or go to trial, and/or whether mediation or collaborative law makes sense.
To get to the logical place, it is important to try and work through all the emotions that you’re experiencing. Coping with the emotions the best way possible, recognizing their existence, is critical for most parties.
