I’m Not stupid But
What Does it Mean to Divorce
Divorce is designed to reach agreement on how the property, parenting, and payments will be shared in the divorce settlement. However, many people mistakenly believe they can get emotional justice in the divorce process. The way you are able to present yourself throughout this process is extremely important.
Divorce coaching is beneficial for purposes of support and strategy. The American Bar Association defines divorce coaching as, “a flexible, goal-oriented process designed to support, motivate, and guide people going through divorce to help them make the best possible decisions for their future, based on their particular interests, needs and concerns.”
We will work together to talk to about making decisions, getting organized, finding the experts you may need, and be the best parent you can be through the process. Through our work we will determine what is important to you and hopefully you will walk away with the confidence and courage to go the distance and be proud of how you dealt with such a difficult situation.
A CDC® Certified Divorce Coach is someone you can talk to about making decisions, getting organized, finding the experts you need, and being the best parent you can be through the process, plus helping you with any of the other rough spots you encounter along the way. A divorce coach listens to what is important to you and asks questions to help you gain the confidence and courage to go the distance and be proud of how you dealt with such a difficult situation.
You may have heard the expression that in divorce there are really four divorces: the emotional, the legal, the financial and the social divorce. As divorce coaches we help the client shift their perspective of the emotional and the social concerns so they can make better decisions in the legal and financial divorce.
A divorce coach helps their client to see the real impact of their actions or decisions on other members of the family. The goal is to help them to step back and get in touch with who they are when they are at their best. Self-awareness is the first step towards emotional intelligence, and I think you will agree that the business of divorce could use a good dose of emotional intelligence!
