Listen here: THE AFTERMATH OF DIVORCE

The content is really useful. The kind of questions being answered included:

  • Why do most couples divorce?
  • Once it looks like divorce is imminent, what’s the 1st practical thing couples should do?
  • At what stage do/or should parents bring you in to help?
  • From the child’s perspective, what’s the most important thing for them?
  • Let’s talk about the process of getting over divorce, when does it start? How can someone start?
  • Is it harder if children are involved?
  • I know some people think it should take a long time, what would you say to that?
  • From the legal perspective, can a divorce be stress-free?
  • What are the key things that will help the process be less stressful?
  • Let’s look at when a 3rd party has been introduced into the equation – one partner has moved on, and is in another relationship, how can this be handled? Can this hinder the other party’s healing process? What would you say if a client you are working with tells you this in the middle of your sessions?
  • What should parents do to reassure their children no-one is coming to replace their mum or dad or taking their parent away?
  • Tell us from your experience what happens to the child/children. What are the long term effects of divorce and separation?
  • Is there a right time to introduce a new partner to the children?
  • One of the common things with couples going through divorce is the point-scoring – what does it look like? Why do couples do this? How can they prevent it, is it preventable?
