Divorce

Regardless, if you wanted the divorce, you were not prepared for this…

Anger, pain, resentment, and overwhelming sadness. The emotions are intense.

Pretending that everything is okay, avoiding the emotions, and “getting by” are all you can do some days.

Having old emotions, thoughts, and memories creep in of the “good times” and the “hard times” can be shattering.

You can’t get it out of your head.

“Where did things go wrong?” or “Could I have done something differently?”

Mixed thoughts and emotions are frustrating.

“Do I still love them?”

“It’s over!”

It’s a LOT – the tightness in your chest, pressure you feel, exhaustion, constant thoughts running in a circle screaming at you, “Woulda, coulda, shoulda!”

There are moments when things are okay.

You feel confident and maybe even a little excited for the future.

Then the unpredictable rollercoaster of emotions or life post-divorce starts again. It feels like you are putting a jigsaw puzzle (your life) together while riding upside down on a rollercoaster.

It’s exhausting.

Divorce is painful and traumatic.

The people closest to you are occasionally helpful. Other times, they are awkward or just seem to make things worse.

I will meet you with empathy when you step into my therapy office. Judgment and shame have no place in therapy. You will be provided with safety and the space, to be honest with yourself as you find the pathway forward.

You don’t need to plant a rose garden in the poop of divorce. It is okay not to be okay.

In therapy, you will have the space not to be okay. I can provide the safety to share your thoughts and fears and the time and space to start healing.

Divorce does not define you.

There is no three-step process to help you feel better; your life is not a marketing class.

We will take the time to assure you are heard and safe. We’ll collaborate on an individualized plan to help you move forward.

Working through past trauma with EMDR, focusing on building healthier relationships with clear boundaries, exploring values, and a vision for your future will be our goals.
