Divorce is one of life’s most overwhelming and emotionally taxing experiences, second only to the loss of a loved one. It’s not just the emotional turmoil; the legal complexities, endless paperwork, and the life-altering decisions involved can make the process feel insurmountable. For many, the biggest challenge is feeling unheard and powerless, thinking, “I want to have a voice. I want to be taken seriously.”
While a divorcing client may have a lawyer focused on legal matters, a financial advisor on assets, and a therapist for emotional support, these professionals, though essential, each focus solely on their specialized areas. What’s often missing is someone who can help the client tie everything together, stay organized, and approach each professional with the right questions and documents in hand.
The Divorce Coach is the Bridge.
A CDC Certified Divorce Coach® is the bridge between the client, perhaps very new to the whole process of divorce, and the expectations of the professionals who will be advising them. The divorce coach is uniquely trained to empower clients, helping them navigate the process as it occurs in their family with confidence. They assist clients in asking the right questions—of themselves and of the professionals around them—ensuring that they communicate in a way that their needs and desires are heard and respected.
The divorce coach’s role is to help clients present themselves as a credible client (how attorneys describe their ideal client), which not only facilitates smoother communication but also ensures they are taken seriously in negotiations.
The training provided by the CDC Certified Divorce Coach® program equips coaches with the skills to help clients focus on what truly matters to them, clarify their needs and goals, and envision their future beyond the divorce. This comprehensive support not only benefits the client emotionally but also helps streamline interactions with other professionals, saving time and money.
For those who choose to become a CDC Certified Divorce Coach®, the rewards are immense. The training program offers hands-on experience across all areas relevant to the client’s needs, preparing coaches to help clients create a thoughtful foundation for understanding the advice they are getting from legal and financial professionals in order to make sound decisions for their future. The program also addresses common mindset pitfalls that can derail the process, providing tools, frameworks, and ethical practices that support clients in a professional manner.
Ultimately, the role of a certified divorce coach is to guide clients through the challenging process of letting go, moving on, and finding a new normal. By helping clients reclaim their voice and take control of their journey, divorce coaches play a crucial role in transforming what could be a devastating experience into an opportunity for growth and renewal. The CDC Certified Divorce Coach® adheres to a Code of Ethics and has a number of tools, frameworks and practices to support their clients in a professional way.
