Navigating a divorce is an emotional and challenging time. When most people think of their divorce “to-do” list, they automatically start looking for a lawyer. While a lawyer is most definitely helpful during a divorce for the legal side of things, a Divorce Coach can be just as – if not more – helpful in providing the support and guidance you need to navigate the complex matrix of decisions on the path ahead.
Why do I need a Divorce Coach During My Divorce?
Divorce is well known for being 80% emotional and 20% legal. And while a lawyer is helpful to manage the legal aspects of your divorce, they aren’t going to help you navigate the monumental sea of decisions as you move forward in your life. A Divorce Coach can provide both practical and emotional support and strategies to help you cope during these challenging times.
Coaches help you become emotionally balanced to make rational decisions. Furthermore, a Divorce Coach can help you manage the many negative emotions you undoubtedly will experience whilst navigating your divorce, emotions such as worry, fear, anxiety, panic, sorrow and anguish (to name a few). During this time you will be making legal decisions that will impact the rest of your life. As such, it’s important you are emotionally balanced and making rational and sound decisions as you move forward. Unfortunately, many people immediately run to a lawyer expecting that the lawyer will be able to appease their anxiety and their panic and their negative emotions, to no avail. Unlike Divorce Coaches, lawyers are not normally trained to help you manage and mitigate your worries, emotions, fears and anxieties.
Lawyers Work in One Specific Area
Every client we have worked with, who went to a lawyer first, came to us saying, “Why didn’t I seek the guidance from a Divorce Coach from One Life Coaching first?” At One Life Coaching, we help individuals navigate the practicalities of their divorce, as well as the emotional side. This empowers you to clearly instruct your legal team as to what your requirements are, and not the other way around. With a Divorce Coach, the power is placed in your hands rather than leaving it all in the hands of a lawyer. Together with your Divorce Coach, you’ll determine what works best for you personally, as well as what works best for your family, as you move forward in this next chapter of your life.
Divorce Coaching Looks Out for Your Whole Family
Divorce is tough when children are involved. Meeting with an impartial Divorce Coach before meeting with a lawyer will help you define what you want for yourself and your children and in the long run, meeting with a Divorce Coach during this challenging time will also help you be able to guide your children so that they do not suffer unnecessarily during their parents’ breakup.
