Divorce can bring a level of pain, confusion, and loss rivaled only by the death of a loved one. Not only are you coping with some of the most intense emotions in the human experience, but you’re grieving the loss of an entire future you imagined for yourself.
SUPPORTING DIVORCEES WITH MENTAL HEALTH THERAPY.
Divorce tends to come at the tail end of years of damaged trust and emotional exhaustion, often experienced on both sides as relationship combat escalates. The hard news is that it’s impossible to emerge from a divorce unchanged. The hopeful truth is that you get to have a hand in who you become and what this change looks like.
