A New Becoming: A Divorce Thrive Circle

Next Session Begins October 2, 2023

When I ask women to share the most difficult part of their experiences with divorce, the responses are varied and vast. This makes sense because divorce can touch every single aspect of our lives, from our friendships to our bank accounts to our parenting experiences to our work schedules to our beliefs about what it means to love and be loved. Even the most fundamental aspects of who we are and how we’ve seen ourselves come into question.

At its root, divorce is a loss. Even when we very much want – or at least recognize a need for – a marriage to end, we face the loss of something that we at one point thought would endure.

At its root, divorce is also a transformation. It’s an experience that can’t help but alter us. It invites (okay, sometimes forces) us to disassemble, evaluate, and rebuild in a new and different way.

The New Becoming Divorce Thrive Circle is an opportunity to navigate this process in a way that it’s intentional, supportive of our mental health and well-being, and in community with supportive companions.

I believe that divorce is never just one thing. It’s one-life-ending and a new-life-giving. It’s a tearing down and a building up. It’s a leaving home and a coming home to self.

And in the midst of all the things that it is, we need spaces that are safe to grieve, assess, and rebuild.

Who is this for?

This Thrive Circle is for those women who have experienced divorce and are seeking community and evidence-based guidance on how to thrive in a new chapter of life. You are welcome regardless of the context of the divorce and whether or not you are a parent, though co-parenting will be a topic of discussion.

While this group is open to all, it is specifically designed for women beginning to navigate uncoupling/divorce or post-divorce life, usually within the first three years after a separation.

How you’ll grow and develop:

This Thrive Circle will provide a safe community space to feel seen and understood in the messy emotions and experiences of divorce.

It will also provide evidence-based tools and strategies to:

Manage feelings of anxiety and worry that come with the financial, emotional, and logistical challenges of divorce
Understand different types of grief responses at the end of relationship and how they manifest
Support effective co-parenting by learning knowledge and skills about parenting through divorce and solo parenting
Build accountability for designing the elements of a next chapter
Explore relational dynamics that impacted your previous relationships and explore what it might mean to partner again
- Education and resources for practicing skills outside of group time
- Community and connection with other women who share similar struggles with anxiety
- Coaching and active support from a clinical psychologist who specializes in treating anxiety disorders

How will I benefit?

You will leave with tools to become less entangled in your emotions about your divorce and more ready to embrace your next chapter.
You will build increased confidence in navigating the complexity of divorced life.
You will have space to process the experience of divorce in the safety of a confidential group
You’ll feel supported, seen, and held by other women who have been there and get it.
