Post-Divorce Recovery
ADULT COUNSELING SERVICES
Most people don’t walk down the aisle preparing for an eventual divorce. Often when a marriage breaks up, the emotional and relational consequences are devastating for all involved.
IF YOU ARE GOING THROUGH A DIVORCE, IT’S NORMAL TO EXPERIENCE THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS:
Grief
Isolation
Confusion Regarding Their Relationship
Thoughts of ‘what went wrong?’
Anger and Bitterness
Feelings of Betrayal
Loss of His/Her Dream of a Lifelong Marriage
Crisis of Faith or Values
Guilt
KNOW THAT THERE IS HOPE
Working with a counselor who is trained in divorce recovery, grief, and family systems can greatly help you work through your feelings and learn to trust yourself and others again. It can be difficult to talk about your divorce with family or friends, as they often “take sides” or feel confused themselves as to who they should communicate with. But having a confidential relationship with a counselor can provide a safe emotional space for you to process your thoughts and feelings.
YOU MAY HAVE SOME CONCERNS, SUCH AS…
“Aren’t all divorces painful? It seems other people who go through a divorce don’t seem to need counseling.”
In our experience, preventative mental health care can be very positive. Much like setting a broken bone so that it can heal properly, counseling post-divorce can help you find the right path for emotional and relational healing. Many of our clients recover from a divorce and feel stronger as they pursue relationships post-divorce. Journeys clients feel that they know themselves better, have learned to differentiate between safe and unsafe people, and can dare to trust others again.
