What Does a Divorce Coach Do?
Going through a divorce is emotionally charged. It can also be a complicated, time-consuming process and a lot of people overlook how deeply their feelings can be impacted. Some people report experiencing high levels of emotional fatigue when going through a divorce, especially if they have children. And most overlook the importance of having professional support.
When you’re being plagued by intense emotions it can be difficult to manage those while you try to make rational decisions. This is where a Divorce Coach can help.
What is a Divorce Coach?
A Divorce Coach is someone who holds a certified qualification to help people going through a divorce. It is a stressful period in someone’s life, and a Divorce Coach can help them ensure they make wise decisions. They help peel back all the emotional layers a divorcee is dealing with, so they can make smart, rational decisions about their future. The decisions you make right now will heavily impact your future, and you can’t take them back.
What Does a Divorce Coach Do?
What is divorce coaching? It’s an alternative way to resolve your divorce. A Divorce Coach can guide you through your divorce and help you remain goal-oriented.
A Divorce Coach can:
- help you come to a fair financial agreement. It is easy to get carried away with emotions running high, whether it’s guilt forcing one party to give up too much or a bully pushing to take more than they deserve. A Divorce Coach can help both parties set realistic financial goals.
- help your entire family focus on the future. The relationship may be done, but you are tied together forever if you have children. It’s important your family can move forward.
- connect you to a qualified counsellor to help you navigate the emotional journey you’re going through.
- assist you to communicate more clearly, without the haze of intense emotions clouding your perception.
- save you time and money. The longer you spend arguing about arrangements for the children or finances, the more lawyers can bill you. These costs escalate quickly, but a Divorce Coach can help you come to an agreement quickly and fairly.
- help you understand the importance of self-care, whether it’s taking time to relax or looking after your health by eating well.
- help you settle post-divorce issues, including parenting, rebuilding your life, dating and moving on after divorce.
Support and Guidance
As an example, a Divorce Coach will help you navigate the intensity of emotions surrounding being cheated on while trying to come to a fair financial settlement and custody arrangement. Conversely, a Divorce Coach will also help a person see through the haze of guilt they may hold as a result of their part at the end of the marriage. This can often result in someone giving the wronged party anything they ask for because they think it will be an act of attrition.
Whether you have children or not, the division of assets should be fair to all involved parties. And as you enter into your new normal, you may need additional support adjusting to it. This is where a Divorce Coach will provide you with guidance. They aren’t looking to seize on heightened emotions or disrupt the process. Rather, they want to smooth the way to make the proceedings as simple and painless as possible.
