It can feel impossible not to spiral in the midst of a separation or divorce, and intimidating thinking about structuring your future during this process.
My approach to creating a successful separation and divorce path is based on strategically walking through the following areas with my clients:
Creating a structure for communicating with your spouse, ex-spouse and/or co-parent early on eliminates an immense amount of frustration later in the separation and divorce process.
A vital part of stepping through this process with grace and resilience is setting up a clear and intentional path. Each person’s needs and goals are unique, and the ability to get creative and think outside the box as you meet both of those will benefit you for years to come.
Finding the right support during this time is so important. Whether it is legal advice, therapeutic assistance, financial planning, real estate help, or discovering new social groups or activities… Creating a trusted support network is a vital part of creating the best outcome for yourself.
Avoid common pitfalls and the downward divorce spiral by walking through, what can be an incredibly emotional time with an expert who can help you set correct expectations of the future and prepare accordingly.
We have all seen how certain stages of relationships, but especially separation and divorce, can be tumultuous. Without the right outlook, forethought, tools and resources so many people end up in an uncontrolled spiral filled with contention, bitterness, resentment, and destructive behavior. These behaviors become patterns as the years progress, and destroy any chance of normalcy or hope for an easier future. Ironically, a better future is so often why a couple is separating or divorcing in the first place. This common spiral affects everyone involved, but it is particularly difficult for children, which is why catching it early and putting even a little bit of effort into planning the path is worth it.
Whether you’re just thinking about a separation, you’re deep into a divorce or you are divorced and trying to rebuild your life, you are not alone and you will not regret creating some space to thoughtfully plan a better path for yourself and your family.
Stop the downward spiral and begin taking proactive, positive action.
Build a better future for yourself, your children and even your ex-partner.
When you choose a different outlook, you choose different actions. When you choose different actions, you are choosing a better path and future for yourself and your family. My mission is to guide you through this transformation, ensuring you emerge stronger and happier.
Townsend Coaching offers in-person and online coaching services, including:
One-on-one, or individual coaching sessions are typically 50-60 minute meetings between just one client and the coach, with full client privilege and confidentiality. It can be done in person or online. If an individual wants to add a partner, spouse, ex-spouse, friend, or other family member to the session, please follow the couples or group coaching links.
Couples coaching is a great way to start a separation or divorce journey, as getting on the same page before proceedings begin can eliminate a lot of future heartache, expense, and chaos for your household(s). Couples coaching is recommended when two parents want to separate amicably and stay focused on their children through the separation and divorce process.
Group coaching can be done with multiple individuals from different households or the same household (families). Group coaching is highly effective and a great way to enter the coaching experience, especially if individual sessions feel emotionally overwhelming.
