DIVORCE COACHINGSometimes you just need help. You and your spouse have found a mediator that you like, or you've retained your attorney and are working through a more traditional divorce. Or things are really difficult and the process has turned adversarial. And you need support. And guidance. And someone to listen. To walk you through the ups and downs of divorce—the logistical, economical and emotional challenges that are part of this negotiation you have stepped into. Someone who is not a co-worker who went through a tough divorce of their own, or a friend who just had a fight with their own spouse, or a family member who now says they never liked your partner in the first place. Because while all the people in your life are well-intentioned and wanting to help, their advice and support, their knowledge and experience comes from a filter that likely won't serve you. Often because your divorce triggers their own experiences and their feedback to you is really their story. This is where coaching can help. Whether just a one hour phone call or a series of sessions to keep you on track, and grounded in and feeling that you have the support that you need, I offer a hands-on approach to helping you navigate this time in your life. My Divorce coaching in multi-dimensional. I will help you separate the emotional from the factual elements of the divorce process. Anything from working through email correspondence from your spouse or partner and moving aside those things that have nothing to do with your negotiation and everything to do with the emotional triggers to reviewing legal documents so that you understand everything you are reading and responding to. We will work through how you can advocate and present what you believe is fair, how to work through the negotiation, counter an offer and come to compromise. We'll work on best ways to communicate by utilizing language that invokes assertiveness without emotional charge. And we will balance the many moving pieces of the divorce puzzle which will allow you to come to often very creative outcomes for you and your spouse. I will help you see both sides, understand where your spouse likely is coming from, step into compassion without losing your ability to stand in your strength and advocate for what you believe is right for you. It's ok to be kind and still be forthright and assertive. To recognize the struggles your partner may be going through yet not step into guilt. I will help you explore your own emotions and triggers during this process. Most often our emotional reactions are not about the incident or interaction at hand and by exploring what is really going on inside, I can help you step away from those reactions that do not serve you. The idea is to honor what you are feeling but not allow these feelings to dictate your choices. This allows you to step into the negotiations truly addressing the issues, not your own or your partner's patterns and challenges and emotions. |
