Considering hiring a Divorce Coach, but don't know exactly what they do? This article will define what they do and what you should expect!
Divorce is the most painful, difficult, heart-wrenching human experience one can engage in, and whether by choice or by force, the process is never easy. To compound matters, it is during this highly emotional, highly charged time that one is tasked with making life-altering decisions that directly impact the present and the future.
Everyone knows the benefit and many times the requirement to seek legal representation. Some are aware of the importance of seeking therapeutic support. What most don’t realize, however, is the benefit of having a Divorce Coach.
A Divorce Coach is a highly skilled, highly trained Life Coach specializing in supporting and empowering people as they contemplate divorce, go through divorce, or recover from divorce. While a therapist focuses on processing trauma and emotional upheaval, a coach works with you to identify priorities, set goals, create action plans, monitor progress, and celebrate successes. With the help of a Divorce Coach, a challenging time in your life can become a transformative opportunity to create the life you want with intention and purpose
During your initial consultation, you will learn about the coach’s background, training, and methodology. Also, during this time, you will share what you are looking for in a coaching relationship and the areas you would like to focus on. The initial consultation is free and allows you the opportunity to determine if that coach is the right fit for you. Make sure that anyone you are considering offers a free initial consultation so that you can make this determination before formally entering into the coaching relationship. Fees, meeting times/ days, cancellation policies, and all other nuances will also be discussed during this initial meeting.
Hiring a Divorce Coach can be just as important as hiring a lawyer or seeing a therapist. She or he can ensure that you are prioritizing yourself, setting and reaching goals, and becoming the person you want to be when you enter the next and BEST phase of your life!
