How Therapy Can Support You Through Divorce

Going through a divorce can be incredibly challenging no matter the circumstances that led to it. It’s akin to experiencing a death, but unlike the loss of a loved one, the end of a relationship doesn’t come with the usual expressions of sympathy or a formal goodbye.

Since both individuals are still physically present, the grieving process can be much more complicated.

I’m Kimberly, a therapist at Seven Oaks Therapy. Divorce brings a storm of emotions. You might feel lost, alone, and overwhelmed by grief, sadness, and guilt.

On top of that, feelings of anger and blame towards your ex, worries about financial security, fears of loneliness, and changes in your social and family circles can add to the emotional burden. Sometimes simply making it through the day is a significant achievement.

For those navigating a divorce, individual therapy can be a vital source of support.

It provides a safe space to process your feelings, develop effective coping strategies, and help you manage stress, anxiety, and negative thoughts. Exploring how the divorce has affected your self-esteem and working on building resilience can pave the way for a renewed and stronger sense of self.

Additionally, learning effective communication skills for co-parenting or other interactions post-divorce can be extremely beneficial.

Remember, while grieving a divorce can feel lonely, you are not alone. There is support available to help you through this tough time.

Getting started with therapy is simple.

Step one, fill out the new client appointment form.
Step two is to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re a good fit, and if so, we’ll schedule your first appointment.
Step three, you’ll begin to receive the support you need to work through the emotional toll of divorce.

I look forward to working with you.
