DIVORCE RECOVERY
Process your grief. Reconnect to yourself.
Relationships are one of the most beautiful and most difficult parts of life.
Divorce can leave you feeling lonely and discouraged. A relationship where so much was invested has ended. It can feel so defeating. Immense self-doubt may invade your thinking.
In addition to the feelings of failure or loneliness, you often face changes in important relationships in your life that were connected to your marriage. This can leave you feeling even more isolated and unsure of who you can trust.
If you share children with your ex, you are dealing with an extra layer of grief and difficulty as you process changes in custody and face the trials of co-parenting. You also feel the pain your children carry and want to help them, while you yourself are just trying to keep putting one foot in front of the other each day.
You may be experiencing these things:
Decreased motivation in day-to-day life
Increased use of unhealthy coping techniques
A fear of future relationships or lack of ability to trust others
Feeling frequently overwhelmed and stressed out
Negative self-beliefs on repeat in your mind
Feelings of loneliness or isolation
how i can help
Therapy can offer you a safe place to grieve and process your loss. It can also help you plan a future that feels hopeful.
Your life was built around your marriage. The end of the marriage, therefore, brings inevitable upheaval.
Even if you fully believe that divorce was the best option in your situation, it does not take away the grief and loss that you experience in ending this important attachment relationship.
Sometimes divorce is a difficult but necessary step in the direction of a healthy life. We can work to create a vision of what a healthy and fulfilling life can look like for you.
Divorce was not your plan when you got married. It isn’t what you dreamed of for yourself or your family. It is a disruption to your plans and your sense of stability. But it doesn’t have to be the end of the story. You can still create a beautiful future.
Investing in your healing during this time can help you prevent future pain that comes from unhealed wounds.
imagine if you…
Had a safe space to grieve without judgement
I strive to provide a safe, confidential, judgement-free space for clients to grieve and process emotions.
Replaced negative self-beliefs with positive ones
Negative self-beliefs can keep you trapped in the same cycles of shame and doubt. EMDR therapy can help you replace long-held damaging self-beliefs with healthy and affirming self-beliefs.
Felt hopeful about the future again
It is hard to see the potential for a positive future in the midst of painful circumstances. When we face the pain and process through it, we are able to open up once again to future possibilities.
I want you to know:
Healing is possible.
Let’s create a plan for you.
