Clients who are in the middle or even just on the other side of a divorce are often the most destabilized they will ever be in their adult lives, especially if they didn’t see a divorce coming. It can take people years to recover. However, with the right therapist, the right knowledge, and the right tools, people can get on the other side of their pain in a matter of months. Given how prevalent divorce is, it’s safe to assume that, at some point, divorcing clients will seek therapy to help them get through the emotional pain. Too many therapists are unprepared for these clients and, without meaning to, can not only not help, but they can even add to their client’s pain.
