Description

Divorce can be mentally, physically, and financially demanding. A person going through a divorce may feel guilt, fear, anxiety, depression, and grief. Divorce also impacts the whole family system. Therapists may naturally side with one partner over the other or generally feel uncomfortable engaging at all. With that in mind, it might be helpful to be very mindful about who you speak with and what you mention. Couples therapy is an often-misunderstood space when it comes to divorce issues. Families going through divorce have several tasks in the separation process. These are going through a grieving process, communicating differently, reorganizing, and making new goals for co-parenting. Going successfully through these tasks impacts positively all family members. Our role as therapists is to help these families understand better the process of divorce and go successfully through these separation and divorce tasks.
