Relationships can be hard. Whether you’re dating someone or have been married for 50 years, every relationship has its ups and downs. You may have just discovered your partner cheated on you, or you’re merely trying to figure out how to make this relationship thing work. Maybe it feels like you barely recognize the person lying next to you in bed anymore and you feel guilty because the word “ divorce” has crept into your mind.

Does it seem like no matter how hard you try, communication with your partner remains a struggle? You might look like the ideal couple to others, but behind closed doors, you’re both feeling defeated, frustrated, and on the verge of giving up. Or maybe you're feeling the weight of all of life's pressures and painful things you've been through, and can't quite figure out how to be the man you're trying to be. I understand how painful it can be to navigate these feelings of disconnection and uncertainty. The anxiety of not knowing if things will ever improve can be overwhelming.

Are you struggling with ADHD, Autism, neurodiversity-related issues, or anxiety? As women, we face many complex challenges. Wearing so many hats at once can feel overwhelming, especially with a different neurotype. You might feel like no one understands or has the time to listen. You're used to keeping it all inside and managing on your own, but it's not working anymore. You want to find peace and relief from what's keeping you from enjoying life. You deserve compassionate and empowering care. You don't have to manage these emotions by yourself anymore.

Divorce Therapists
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.
