The Positive Impact A Divorce Coach Can Have For Their Client And The Client’s Children

A separation or divorce is obviously a highly stressful and emotional experience for everyone involved, but for a child it can feel like their whole world has shattered. Imagine your own feelings of trauma and overwhelm magnified exponentially because even though it might not feel like it, you are – at least in part – in control of what’s going on, your child is not.

Bringing in a divorce coach from the very beginning, before even reaching the separation stage, can help you work through the emotional overwhelm so you can concentrate your focus on the business of divorce; in hopes of making it less overwhelming, less terrifying, and allowing you to put more energy and thought into how you and your spouse are going to reduce the negative impact on your family as much as possible.

1) Working Through The Logistics Of The Business Of Divorce

A divorce coach will listen to you without judgment, without saying whatever they think you want to hear. Their only goal is to support you by understanding, and in turn, helping you understand, what you need and want from the divorce proceedings, why you need/want it, and equipping you to work more effectively with the other divorce professionals on your team such as your attorney, financial planner, therapist, or mediator. The divorce coach can also help you weigh the options provided by your attorney or financial expert against the focus and vision you have for your family and your future.

2) Reducing The Emotional Overwhelm

Some children go through divorce with relatively few problems, while others have a very difficult time. Having a divorce coach by your side will help you feel like you have a say in what’s going on around you, your needs are being heard and met, and will allow you to focus your energy and time into ensuring that the impact of this event on your children is as painless and seamless as possible.

3) Focus On Family

It doesn’t matter whether your children are toddlers or teens, the dissolution of their parents’ marriage is going to be traumatic. However, with the help of a divorce coach during this transitional time, you can dramatically reduce your child’s pain by making their well-being your top priority.
