Life after separation is a massive struggle for most. The enormity can hit rather painfully when you are trying to navigate daily tasks and your long-term goals – all while attempting to heal emotionally. Well-meaning but flawed advice from friends can make a situation that is already problematic feel impossible to survive. If only there was somewhere you could turn to get experienced and sound advice to help you take control of it all and see the light at the end of the divorce tunnel 

What is a divorce coach and how could it help me?

Suppose you are considering divorce or have already decided it is what you want. Imagine the relief of having a level-headed, experienced professional to turn to whose only goal is to get you through to the other end as quickly, well prepared, and pain-free as possible? Divorce coaching can help to ensure the divorce is what you want, coach you through decisions and emotions, and genuinely have your best interests at heart.  

A divorce coach can prepare you for the practical and emotional aspects of 

  • Financial situations
  • Residential decisions  
  • Custody issues 
  • Dealing with your ex-partner 
  • The emotional and mental toll of navigating your grief and feelings while supporting children struggling with big feelings  

Before anything starts legally or emotionally with your spouse, a coach can talk to you about what may happen, and will prepare you mentally so you are strong, unsurprised, and supported through the whole process.  

How a Divorce Recovery Coach can save your sanity

You have made it through the separation. You’ve calmly made the best decisions for your new life, with minimal stress and trauma for you and your children. However, there is still work to be done. You may feel safe, but divorce recovery coaching can save you from the fatigue experienced after a divorce. It might have gone smoothly, but that doesn’t mean there won’t be new hurdles to jump or residual feelings to work through.  

So what is a post-divorce coach, and how will this coaching keep you from crashing? Navigating life as a single parent, negotiating with a co-parent, and even dealing with a co-parent’s new partner or your own can be problematic. A post-divorce coach provides solid advice, a shoulder to lean on, and expert guidance on these new challenges that will keep you on a path that is right for you. In addition, divorce recovery coaching can keep you from making mistakes that derail your hard work.
