Why Consulting a Divorce Coach Before a Lawyer Is Crucial to this Journey
With the arrival of the New Year and the tradition of setting resolutions, a global trend has emerged – January has unofficially become known as the International Month of Divorce.
This period often begins with the holiday season where family gatherings and festive events bring underlying relationship problems to the forefront, magnifying existing marital strains, leading some couples to reassess their situation.
Following the Holiday season comes January, a time to evaluate our life goals. Although people never envisage their marriage ending when they first make their vows, individuals in a fractious marriage often see the onset of the new year as an opportunity for new beginnings, including ending marriages that no longer resonate with their personal values. Conversely, some might find themselves in the unexpected challenge of their marriage ending, the decision being taken out of their hands.
Navigating the emotional, practical, financial and logistical challenges of a divorce can be a taxing ordeal. One Life Coaching is here to provide the support and guidance you need, leading you towards a more fulfilling and happier life post-divorce.
Seeking Guidance Through the Complex Journey of Divorce and Separation
If you are facing divorce as your new reality, you probably will be feeling lost, anxious and most importantly fearful of what is to come. This sense of uncertainty is no doubt overwhelming. Navigating the complexities of divorce and separation is daunting! This may prompt you into a hasty decision to consult a lawyer in order to mitigate your anxieties and fears. This is when it is most crucial to seek proper guidance from a professional who can help you navigate all the complexities of divorce, not just the legal part.
Rather than concentrating only on the legal dimensions, it’s beneficial to seek advice from someone well-versed in all the nuances of divorce. This approach helps in addressing not just the legalities, but also the emotional and practical aspects of the situation.
Experienced Divorce Coaches Offer Comprehensive Guidance
At One Life Coaching, we understand the multifaceted challenges of this period and provide holistic guidance to help you – and where relevant your children – through these tumultuous times. Our focus is not just on the legal aspects, but also on the practical, financial and psychological well-being of everyone involved.
1. Shifting the Focus: From Panic to Informed Decision-Making
Running straight to a lawyer in the hope of alleviating anxieties and panic is a common response. However, taking a step back to focus on understanding your emotional, practical, and financial needs, your long-term goals, as well as the needs of your children, can lead to more informed decision-making. At One Life Coaching our experienced Divorce Coaches will offer you holistic solutions that look at Divorce from all angles: practical, financial, legal and emotional.
2. Recognizing the Emotional and Practical Overwhelm: A Common Experience
If you find yourself contemplating divorce for the first time, it’s entirely normal to feel emotionally and practically overwhelmed. The uncertainty of the path ahead can be intimidating, and it’s essential to acknowledge these feelings as part of the process. Our experienced Divorce Coaches at One Life Coaching will provide the support and guidance necessary to help you navigate the complexities involved. They will empower you to make well-informed decisions and face the challenges ahead with resilience.
3. Seeking Guidance: A Crucial First Step
In the midst of this turmoil, it’s crucial to resist the urge to rush straight to a lawyer. While legal advice is undoubtedly essential, seeking practical, financial, and emotional guidance is equally crucial. Before pursuing legal action, our Divorce Coaches assist you in taking proactive steps to address the issues arising from a marriage that has broken down. Through strategic planning, we help you make the necessary decisions that align with your long-term mental, physical, and financial well-being. This approach is essential both for a healthier transition through divorce, as well as to your post-divorce life.
4. Prioritizing Emotional Well-being: For Yourself and Your Children
Divorce encompasses more than just legal proceedings; it’s an emotional odyssey that demands careful consideration and empathy. When children are part of the equation, it’s crucial to thoughtfully maneuver through these challenges with their welfare in mind. Our Divorce Coaches at One Life Coaching play a key role in not only deciphering the intricacies of child custody but more importantly formulating practical co-parenting approaches – based on current research and good practises – that keep the wellbeing of the children at the forefront of the process. Tackling these matters proactively not only helps reduce future disputes but also keeps the children’s needs and interests at the forefront of any decisions.
