Welcome to our CDC Divorce Transition and Recovery Coach® Training
When the marriage settlement agreement (divorce decree) is finalized, and all of the other professionals have gone away, your client faces a whole new set of challenges. Traveling the path to the “new normal” is often a lonely one. With all of the promises that life after divorce offers, there are also plenty of pitfalls to avoid.
We want to equip you with new tools and resources so you will be able to work with clients more confidently to help them in the following ways:
- Clarity and purpose for the resets they need to make: new identity, acquiring skills for their new role as head of the household, finding a path the financial stability, and creating a new support system and new friends to provide important connections.
- Working with the emotions that signal there is still grieving and healing to tend to – and having hope that this too shall pass!
- Finding their mojo. Saying yes to their new life and creating the boundaries to ensure a safe and healthy environment for becoming the person they imagine themselves to be, with new purpose and meaning.
- Assessing for themselves when and if they are ready for a new intimate relationship and trusting themselves to make a good decision.
- With new romantic possibilities comes the quandary of when to introduce children and other members of the family to a new person, and avoiding negative reaction from your ex-spouse and children which might jeopardize that developing relationship.
- Identifying their strengths and ability to do work that will generate additional income or reboot a former career.
- Following through to make the changes outlined is the divorce settlement and developing new confidence and a healthy relationship to money and financial decisions.
So many concerns and you will have new tools, new insight, and even new confidence in using prior training in addressing all of these once you have completed the 8 module – 4 week CDC Divorce Transition and Recovery Coach® Certification.
This specialty certification builds on all of the coaching competencies you have developed in the CDC Program and will weave that foundation into practices you can use with your clients who are on the other side of divorce legally and still have miles to go in their emotional and social recovery.
The CDC Certified Divorce Coach training and certification is required because it provides you with the coaching skills and underlying principles, competencies and tools which comes from the hands on, live practice of scenarios and strategies for avoiding the biggest mistakes in divorce and helping the client overcome the obstacles to becoming an effective advocate and decision-maker for themselves and their children.

Hear What Graduates Have To Say
“Adding a specialty certification in Divorce Transition and Recovery was a genius decision for me. Those specialty classes added powerful skills, deeper understanding, and effective tools that took my coaching to the next level. I now confidently offer full-service coaching – not only nuts and bolts of the divorce process but far beyond as I help clients create an authentic, rewarding life. The transition recovery piece has been a capstone for my clients (as well as for me as a coach). Seeing them transition into living their best lives in an amazing new story is the best reward for me as a coach, and I never tire of helping them design and step confidently into their next chapter. “
“I highly recommend the CDC Divorce Transition and Recovery Coach certification course. The class helped me personally as well as assisted me with my post-divorce clients. In addition, as a certified divorce coach, it gave me tools to keep clients coming back for more coaching work that I’m now qualified to help with.
I have also used this course to form a new support group for people in the post-divorce phase of their lives. The instructors were all fabulous, and the tools, discussions, and guest speakers were extremely useful. All divorce coaches could benefit from this fantastic course!”
