Divorce Guidance

It shouldn’t be a shock, with a 55% divorce rate of marriages in the United States, that millions of people right now are struggling with the decision… Should I stay? Should I go? And how do I heal?

For almost 30 years, we have helped people not only make that decision, but also learn how to heal and thrive in a marriage that’s on the rocks… As well as how to heal and thrive if someone does decide that it’s time to divorce.

In this course, we will look at the main causes of divorce :

1. Unresolved resentments… these resentments against our partners can be held for years upon years upon years, and eventually lead to the downfall of a marriage.
2. Addiction by one or both of the partners… This can be an addiction to drugs, alcohol, food, money, power and even the addiction to codependency, where we have enabled our partner, who is in the throes of addiction, to stay stuck in a marriage filled with chaos and drama.
3. Are we following in the footsteps of our own parents who divorced?
4. Has there been an emotional affair? A physical affair? If so, we will explore the pathways to take in order to heal a marriage after an affair, or, to decide that it is time to MoveOn after either an emotional or physical affair has taken place in a marriage.

Children? If you have kids, should you  divorce? And if you choose to divorce with children… How do we let them know, and create a safe zone for them to heal,  during and after the divorce?

In this course, we will discuss the power of mediation in trying to save a marriage… Is it worth it in your case? And if it is, how long should it take to mediate the issues, before you decide to let go, or get back together?

What about separation? Does it really help? We will discuss the pros and cons of taking a “time out“ from the marriage.

If you decide to divorce, we will help you in the healing process, a process that can take up to a year to move through… Before we even begin to think about getting back into the world of relationships.

The course is 12 weeks long, where you will work with David one on one, one hour every week, either in person or via phone and or Skype, in order to help lay the foundation for the best choice for you to make for your own life and of your children’s , if children are part of the situation.

Or maybe you’ve already decided to divorce, and you’re trying to figure out how to regain your self-confidence and self-esteem, which would also be a part of this program.

And if you have already divorced, or maybe you’re separated, how do you get back into the world of dating? When is it too soon? How do you overcome the fear of the same thing happening in your next relationship?
