How Will You Benefit From Divorce Counseling?

In the following section, will share with you how people will grow and benefit from divorce counseling.
Benefits Of Divorce Counseling
Healing from a divorce is a three-step process; one must grieve their loss; they must create an identity as a non-partnered person; and they need to learn a new relationship model so they will avoid previous relationship pitfalls.
  • Step 1 – Move beyond grief: Where there is attachment and loss, inevitably there will be grief. As a grieving person, you will experience many different raw, sometimes conflicting, emotions including, sadness, love, hate, fear, regret, guilt, depression and anxiety. Given the pain of grief, many people will try to bypass it. Counseling will help you to confront your emotions so that you can successfully move beyond them.
  • Step 2 – Develop an identity apart from one’s spouse: In order to fully understand why your marriage collapsed, you must be helped to step back in time, not to the beginning of the marriage but to early childhood when you were taught how to empathize, love, share, comfort control aggression and to otherwise form healthy relationships. Counseling will help you to see how your early childhood relationships contributed positively and negatively to your marriage. You will then be in a prime place to define the behaviors, feelings and values you want to develop and change.
  • Step 3 – Learn a new model of partnership, which I call “Yours, Mine, Ours: Romantic Relationships Done Right.” Successful relationships must address both the growth of the individual as well as the growth of the relationship. This model will help you gain greater clarity of your feelings, thoughts, and needs and how to grant your partner the right to theirs.
Conclusion
Divorce counseling will help you to take ownership of the Self you relinquished in your marriage and gain the skills for new and healthy partnering. This growth will also help you to:
  • Develop strong co-parenting skills.
  • Become accountable for your new independence.
  • Move beyond feeling victimized.
  • Liberate yourself from the past.
  • Turn your divorce, which you may see as a personal failure, into an opportunity for growth.
Most importantly, you will learn that you can be happy again.

Divorce & Relationship Expert

So fascinated, that I spent years reading study after study and devouring all the literature available about research other psychiatrists had done on divorce. I trained and practiced in both individual psychoanalysis and couples' work so I could help both individuals as individuals, but also the couple as a whole with two individuals in it. And from all that work, personal experience, and counseling thousands of individuals, I came up with my own unique relationship model, which I call Yours, Mine, Ours: Romantic Partnership Done Right.

Divorce Counseling in West Palm Beach

Divorce challenges the basic sense of who you are, who you’ve been, and who you’ll become. Healing from a divorce is not like getting over the flu where one rests, drinks lots of fluids and comes out the other side good as new. Surviving a divorce is much more like recovering from a traumatic accident in which you need to relearn basic tasks in order to thrive in a new, forever changed life. There are two different healing processes people go through during the emotional roller-coaster ride of divorce. First, there is the grief of losing a loved one. The second process is the struggle for a more complete sense of personal identity, now that you are not a “we.” Putting together a new and meaningful post-divorce life does not happen overnight. Some people can do this on their own, depending on the magnitude of their post-divorce problems and how much support they have. But many need help, and that’s nothing to be ashamed of. Signs and Symptoms That Signal The Need For Help ...
