Sarah was overwhelmed. She had just moved out of the house she shared with Jonathan. Sarah had not lived alone for a long time. She struggled to picture a happy future. Everywhere she turned, there were more things to deal with–and she did not feel emotionally equipped to deal with any of them! How would they split up their belongings? What would happen with the kids? How would she survive this mess?
Sarah was starting to realize just how much work it was going to be to live on her own. Between dealing with new bills, following a new parenting schedule, working, and trying to keep track of everything, she felt like she was in over her head.
What Sarah really needed was a thinking partner.
What Can a Thinking Partner Do For You?
A thinking partner can provide much-needed emotional support during a divorce. They can be an outlet for the frustrations, anger, and sadness that often accompany the various stages of the divorce process.
Thinking partners don’t offer advice or try to solve problems; they simply listen and provide a space to express your feelings without judgment–who doesn’t need that?
Thinking partners are nonjudgmental, understanding, and help to create a sense of acceptance that can be invaluable when going through such an emotionally intense experience.
They can help you establish a sense of reason and level-headedness–2 qualities which are invaluable when going through this turbulent time.
Does This Sound Like You?
Going through a divorce is one of the most challenging experiences a person can go through. In addition to the emotional turmoil, there are also many practical considerations that need to be taken care of. Divorce is scary to go through alone–and you don’t have to!
Consider Hiring a Divorce Coach
A divorce coach acts as a thinking partner, who can help you navigate the divorce process and make sure that you are feeling confident and level-headed as you go through perhaps the toughest period of your life.
