Life has many challenges. It's difficult to move forward if you're paralyzed by hurts and traumatic events of the past. Even present day situations can create feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. "What's the use?!" "I'll never get better!" "Why am I even here?" If those are some of your questions, give me a call. Let's talk it out together.

An inconvenient truth; "Life begins at the end of your comfort zone". It is well documented that our worst fear is fear of the unknown. Many will live in the pain of the familiar for years before it hurts enough to wholeheartedly embrace the risk of change. It could be a relationship, job/school, personal/family history, trauma, alternative lifestyle, shame/guilt, substance use, mental health or a variety of other things. If you are in pain, something has to change. Therapy can help you identify what steps are necessary, then develop a plan for change. I will work with you at your pace, offering support in a non-judgmental way.

How does therapy for people affected by a divorce work?

Individuals may feel a number of emotions following a divorce, such as shock, guilt, grief, anger, and fear. Therapists offer a non-judgmental space for individuals to talk about what they’ve experienced and process their emotions. Therapists will help clients develop coping strategies. They can also help a client rebuild their sense of self and self-worth and talk about what a happier future might look like.

What’s the most common type of therapy following a divorce?

There are several types of therapy that may be useful for divorce, including cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, solution-focused brief, and mindfulness-based therapies. Many therapy types are talk-therapy based, which is typically the most popular option for individuals dealing with divorce. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a widely-used talk therapy, however, there’s no specific therapy type that’s designed to help people with divorce, and different types will work depending on the person.

When should an individual seek help due to a divorce?

When the feelings of a divorced individual, or an individual going through the process of divorce, begin to disrupt healthy daily functioning, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If a person finds that they are not performing at work due to problems with anxiety or motivation, if they’re no longer seeing friends due to feelings of shame, or if they’re not properly taking care of themselves as a result of depression, speaking to a professional could help.

How do you encourage someone to go to therapy due to a divorce?

It’s helpful to express concern and love for the individual while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Sharing how the individual appears to be suffering, and what effects it has on them or on their children, should be done with compassion and empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
