Coaches, lawyers and divorcees all know that you are being asked to make life shaping decisions while in an emotionally vulnerable state of mind. Regardless of who instigated the split, both parties face loss and change which causes stress and accentuates fears.
We often hear how divorce can bring out the worst in people. Neuroscience tells us that there are actually biological reasons to do with the way our brain works, which explain why fears surface so strongly at this time. If it goes horribly wrong then not only do you risk a big fight and legal bills, but also the emotional trauma to you and your family as you then move forward. Solution focused coaching dramatically reduces the impact of a negative spiral.
Splitting up means that hopes for a shared future are dashed. It can be very difficult for someone who has been part of a couple for so long to imagine their future life alone. Through coaching, people are able to take positive steps towards creating a brighter future.
“Many lawyers forget that they are only involved with clients for a short period of time yet the impact of the divorce goes on for years. It's important that clients get the full support they require. This is why we team up with life coaches”
Spokesperson for Collaborative Divorce Lawyers in Cambridge

“I started off coaching having lost the plot with my life. After 30 years of marriage my future was so linked with my family and at a time when we were thinking abut retirement I have lost my future”..…..2 sessions later. “I am now getting out in my car and going and doing things. I am starting to relaise that I can make more of this situation and not waste the rest of my life feeling sorry for myself”
These workshops are run form time to time for people who are generally past the negotiation stage and want to make a more fulfilling next chapter of their life. Let us know if you are interested.
“My social live revolved around my ex wife and we did everything together. I now need to think about how to re build my life going forward. The workshop was ideal for helping me do just that and it was all done in a friendly yet professional manner”
