A CDC® Certified Divorce Coach helps the individual caught in the overwhelm of divorce to make the best decisions possible for their future based on their particular wants, needs, and concerns. A personal divorce coach supports their client in moving forward towards that future, one step at a time.
A CDC® Certified Divorce Coach can also help a client who hasn’t yet decided to divorce, who is grappling with the “should I or shouldn’t I” question, to understand the impact of divorce on all aspects of their life – approaching divorce from an “eyes wide open” standpoint to determine if the tradeoffs and consequences of divorce are best for decision for them and their family.
In a recent interview on Blog Talk Radio, CDC® Coach Heather Crimmins talks about why she became a divorce coach and what being a divorce coach can do for her clients.
Heather herself has been divorced twice. She was not aware divorce coaching existed until four years ago, when she went to contact her attorney from her first divorce 15 years prior. While he no longer worked at the firm, Heather saw they had a certified divorce coach on staff.
“I thought, ‘What on earth is that?'” recalls Heather.
It turns out it was something she had already been doing unprofessionally for decades. Once she had done her research and connected with Co-Founder and President of the professional standard in the industry, she realized her decades of informal coaching with family and friends had prepared her for this career opportunity.
Today, Heather’s goal is to help clients gain much needed traction out of the ditch of divorce and shepherd them toward their best possible outcome. Read the full article/listen to the podcast here.
