DIVORCE
Navigating divorce with Strength, resilience, and support.
Navigating the painful process of divorce is a challenging journey that often brings forth new, equally painful, and challenging problems. At InTune Therapy, I understand that divorce can be a tumultuous experience for everyone involved, and I believe in guiding individuals through the process of divorce recovery with empathy and support.
Divorcing well is a difficult but achievable goal. Marriages typically end when at least one partner feels uncared for, whether through neglect, conflict, or betrayal and they decide there is not a path towards reconciliation and repair. The relational injuries that contribute to the end of a marriage are not automatically resolved by the dissolution of the marriage. Successfully navigating the complexities of divorce requires effective communication and coordination, whether handled directly or through attorneys. However, if the underlying relational injuries are left unaddressed, issues such as lack of trust, hurt, anger, and frustration can turn divorce into an emotionally charged battle with relief being the only positive outcome.
When children are involved, divorce extends beyond the legal process. Co-parenting, child and possibly spousal support, coordinating holidays, and agreeing on schedules and discipline become ongoing challenges. Hurt and anger towards an ex-spouse may affect interactions with children, potentially damaging their well-being.
While a marriage may come to an end, the issues and injuries incurred during the marriage persist, influencing subsequent relationships and potentially affecting a future marriage. Divorce recovery is a crucial part of the healing process, addressing both the pain of the ending relationship and preparing individuals for healthier future connections.
InTune Therapy offers support at every stage of the divorce process. My goal is to help individuals divorce well, minimizing the fallout and establishing a path for moving forward. I believe in the possibility of recovery, learning, and emerging from divorce stronger and better prepared for future relationships.
It's essential to note that I am neither a court approved mediator nor child custody evaluator. I am not a legal expert, and I am not trained in legal matters or proceedings. In conjoint co-parenting therapy, both parties must agree to release any records to any party. Any reports of specific interactions with an ex-spouse revealed in individual therapy with one co-parent is legally hearsay and is not supportive evidence in any court hearing. InTune Therapy will not prioritize or align with one client over another. I am a legally mandated reporter and must report any reported active or imminent potential risk to vulnerable populations including children and elders.
