Why You Should Go to Therapy When Going Through a Divorce?
Divorcing brings up so many emotions, from excitement to fear, from confidence to feeling lost, and so many other feelings in between. It’s hard to sort them out on your own.
When we first meet with our potential clients, we share that each person, including the children, has access to a mental health professional when they use the collaborative divorce process.
We like to share why it is important to seek mental health therapy during the divorce process. Here are a few thoughts:
- It sets an excellent example for your children that working on your mental health is important, and it takes the associated stigma away
