Reasons To Hire a Divorce Life Coach to get You through Your Divorce.

Going through a divorce is a stressful and emotionally trying time. A Divorce Life Coach can help you deal with the emotional stress you will face.
This year, in the United States, more than 879,000 marriages will end in divorce. The emotional and financial repercussions from each divorce will be staggering. Many of these individuals will turn to a Life Coach to help them sort through the issues at hand to find a way through the stress, trauma and grief. Now, there is a service that focuses primarily on divorce and it’s after-effects: Divorce coaching. Unlike life coaching, divorce coaching is completely devoted to those experiencing divorce. Dealing with the end of one of your most important relationships is not easy, and adjusting to the challenges it presents can be confusing and stressful. Divorce coaches do not handle actual legal issues, and these should always be sorted through with an attorney, but at the days end when the pain and realization sets in about the divorce, people can now choose to have someone to talk to without fear of being judged or mislead (even though their intentions may be good.) Many Divorce Coaches have had years of training or experience that they use to help their clients heal. Some have backgrounds in legal, financial, or psychological fields, which is beneficial to the clients that they serve. There are three areas that a Divorce Coach can help you with: 1. Getting organized (paperwork, determining the best decisions throughout the process); 2. Pre-legal counsel; and 3. Emotional guidance and support. Obviously stress, emotional turmoil, and utter confusion are the main triggers for hiring a Divorce Coach. For first time divorcee’s, the endless amount of decisions can be terrifying. Just as many people hire a wedding planner to plan and organize their wedding, the same is true when un-tying the knot, and hiring a professional to help you navigate through these rough waters. It is common to feel completely alone when going through any breakup. A divorce is an even more difficult process. You have to face friends, loved ones, and family members who knew you as a couple. To have someone in your corner, you can turn to a Divorce Coach to get through it with confidence and clarity. Physical pain is also side effect of divorce. The pain can stem from the complete emotional upheaval, and it is easy to let yourself go when you feel so low. A Divorce Coach can help you address and deal with these issues that can actually cause you physical pain as a result of the emotional distress you are experiencing. In marriages where children are present, the effects of the divorce directly pass through to them, as well. Children can go to the extreme of believing that they caused the breakup, and can suffer serious psychological damage. Divorce Coaches work with you to navigate your children’s emotions and help you teach them how to deal with their emotions. They can also guide you with your own emotions, such as guilt and the pain of hurting your family, for example. If you honestly, and properly deal with the emotions of both yourself and your children, you can get through your divorce without irreparably damaging them. Many happy, well adjusted, and strong children have come from parents who are divorced. A Divorce Coach can help you remove blame from yourself and help you see the facts as they really are. When a child sees his/her parent in pain they take on that pain, and can often find it more difficult to deal with than the parents. A coach will help you process your emotions and not transfer them to your children. If you can learn to deal with your divorce in a healthy and positive manner, then you children can learn that, while bad things can happen, they can be overcome. They will also learn that relationships are not a given and that they must be cherished. Litigation can be made easier with a Divorce Coach. The litigation process is generally the focus of lawyers, but a Divorce Coach will provide you with an efficient method for dealing with the major decisions that you will be required to make, while handling the stress and emotions that arise while doing so. Attorneys are invaluable for providing legal counsel, but that is where their job ends. Emotional issues that exist separately from the legal arena must be dealt with, and if you try to do it alone, it can be immensely difficult and even overwhelming, at times. A Divorce Coach can make the divorce process much easier. They can provide you with an outlet for your emotions and expectations, whereas an attorney is charging you to deal with the legal aspects of the disolution of your marriage. Truly, there can be no price put on a clear and organized mind. Divorce Coaches offer this service and consistently strive to provide you with tremendous support to get you through to the other side of your divorce as easily, and with the least amount of stress, as possible. If you are in the process of going through a divorce, or are still dealing with the effects of a divorce, consider hiring a Divorce Coach to help you navigate this potentially emotionally devastating event.Having someone on your side to help you get through this dark period in your life will give you the confidence you need to face what lies ahead of you.
