Zen Divorce Solutions’ Post

Lately, I've spoken to several couples who are in that awful/scary first stage of separation: one partner has been thinking about leaving for a long time and is scared, the other is shocked at the idea and scared. Sometimes, I recommend Discernment Counseling (I know two clinicians who do this very well). Sometimes, though, we need to figure out how to move forward with a divorce in the most respectful and reassuring way we can. I always recommend the Divorce Options Class for people in this early stage. It's free, live online, and a chance for people to get many of their questions answered. What we've found is that our methodical way of going through the process choices and the kinds of issues that people with have to deal with in divorce is calming for most people. Part of the fear at this stage, of course, is the Unknown. If you know someone who is considering divorce, please do send them to the class. It's live Saturday June 15 at 10am. We've started recording the classes, so they should RSVP even if they can't come at that time, and we can send them the recording. RSVP is info@nocourt.org. More information is at www.nocourt.org. I'm happy to send a recording to you if you'd like to preview the class before referring clients. Just email me and I can send you the link. Thanks for helping me to get the word out! :-) Beth
