Divorce coaching is an integral part of the kind of successful divorce that leaves the parties satisfied and protects the entire family. Coaching is a natural fit for the collaborative divorce approach, but can be just as useful in more traditional litigated divorces. |

Different than therapy, coaching is more a consultation that has as its goals the reduction of the stress that accrues from divorce, helping the individual or couple (coaching can be done individually or together) to stay focused and less subject to the emotional roller-coastering that is typical in divorce, and building a post-divorce environment that is healthy and productive for the individuals and their children. |

The divorce coach will help the client navigate a collaborative divorce by providing educative information, positioning the client to meet the challenges of divorce more effectively, and providing the tools to accomplish a healthy divorce. To accomplish these things, the coach will:
- help you understand what psychological stage of divorce you are
at
- identify the emotionally laden issues that are likely to trip you
up
- teach you strategies to avoid being derailed
- help you be a better communicator
- help you plan for your life as a newly single person.

Coaching is very present and future oriented and very focused on accomplishing the tasks needed to get you to where you want to be. Techniques can include education, scripting, role playing, guided imagery, and more. |

Obviously an essential focus of collaborative divorce coaching is helping the client get through the legal process in a healthier manner. But different clients bring other issues they also wish to address, including parenting and co-parenting, changes in lifestyle, taking on new responsibilities, and future relationships. All are approached in the same forward focused, highly directed way. Your coach will help you refine your goals. With your permission the coach may also communicate with your lawyer to provide you with an integrated team approach that looks after your interests broadly and effectively. |
