Divorce Coach
You aren’t considering filing for divorce because you have a healthy emotional relationship with your spouse. Your emotional walls are probably up and you can’t (or won’t) hear anything your spouse has to say. But you would like to remain out of court, maintain your values and privacy as you reach a divorce decision you can live with. Rather than addressing the emotional issues at hand, you hand over control to an outside party (judge or attorney) with your life being decided by someone who isn’t invested in the outcome.
Your Collaborative Divorce Coach helps you listen when you’re your walls are up and talk when you can’t find your voice. Your Collaborative Divorce Coach does not provide therapy. Instead she helps you understand the emotional beliefs behind your thoughts and actions during your divorce.
Your coach is your mental health advocate during your divorce process. Whether you are making financial, legal or parental decisions, all components of your divorce have emotional ties linked to them. What makes your divorce coach effective is that s/he witnesses the divorce process alongside you. This is a key difference between having a coach and seeking therapy after or during the divorce process.
If you are considering whether the a collaborative divorce model would work for your family, sometimes the best starting point is for you and your spouse to jointly meet with two coaches. This will give you a taste of why collaborative divorce is different from other ways to divorce and then you and your spouse can make an informed decision regarding how you want to divorce.
