Divorce Support Groups in Baltimore, MD

Going through a high conflict divorce (usually code for abusive relationship and post separation abuse) can be very isolating. Especially when you're trying to take care of your kids. Friends, family, and community (even mental health professionals!) are often woefully uninformed about high conflict divorce and abuse and why you may end up in family court. When you're dealing with narcissistic abuse it can be brutal. Talk to others of any gender who get it in this facilitated 10 session virtual support group. Free 15 minute screening required to join prior to Feb. 18. Email emergebrave@gmail.com.

The reality is... the pandemic did a number on life as you knew it: work, school and even relationships. Many couples recognized their best option was not being together, you included.

We get it and there’s space for you here. This group will support women of color with powerful coping strategies in navigating this life transition.

Going through a divorce can be challenging, exhausting, and draining. There are probably not enough adjectives to describe how you are feeling right now. As a therapist who has experienced divorce first hand, I have been there. I have not walked in your shoes, but as a moderator, and guide of this group, I can say I have been where you are at one point. My goal is for you to have a place that serves as part support, part therapy, part comfort. You do not have to go through this alone.

Divorce Support Groups

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.
