Starting Divorce counseling

What is divorce counseling?

Thriveworks divorce counseling in Bastrop, TX can help couples understand if they want to divorce or help them move forward post-divorce. Either way, it helps them navigate conflicts and/or tough conversations that pertain to their relationship and individual selves.

How does divorce counseling work?

Divorce counseling at Thriveworks is tailored to each couple and the individuals that make up that couple. It works by offering…

  • Tools to work through conflicts and better manage negative feelings
  • Guidance in making the right decision if you’re still in the process of considering divorce
  • Help with different stages of the divorce and separation process
  • A better understanding of what went wrong in the relationship
  • A third-party perspective that ensures both parties are heard

Is divorce counseling conducted in person or online?

Divorce counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

Therapy for Divorce Recovery in Bastrop, TX—Counselors

Divorce closes a path forward for one relationship. There are many losses to grieve and new realities to navigate. Just practically, decisions need to be made about living situations, custody of children, finances, and legal proceedings. Emotionally, people face loneliness, anger, confusion, guilt, anxiety, fear, and more.

It may feel like divorce is the end, but there are many roads forward, toward happiness and wholeness. New beginnings can come from closed paths. Forging a new path is not easy. Struggling is normal. Falling down is okay. Asking for help is a necessity. But many people are glad they chose the hard road of divorce recovery.

No one has to forge a new path alone. Certainly, friends and family can offer support, but often people need the guidance of a therapist. That is why Thriveworks Bastrop offers divorce recovery counseling: we love seeing clients process their pain and rebuild a happy future.

Causes of Divorce

The particular circumstances of why couples end their marriages are endless, but just below the surface lies a recognizable pattern. For decades, psychologist John Gottman and his team studied divorce, and they identified four reasons most marriages end. These four dynamics can manifest themselves within a marriage in any number of ways, but they are the fuel for tension, disconnection, and ultimately, divorce:

  • Criticism: Negativity can suffocate a marriage, especially when nit-picking and shaming outweigh love and caring.
  • Defensiveness: Blaming, shifting responsibility, and other forms of defensiveness kill intimacy.
  • Stonewalling: Problems quickly become overwhelming when they are not addressed. Denying, avoiding, and minimizing do not belong in healthy relationships.
  • Contempt: Disrespect is almost always present within a marriage that ends in divorce.

When one or more of these are present and the marriages ends, each partner is often left with relational wounds that need care. Divorce recovery is an intentional time of healing past wounds and preparing for a bright future.

Divorce Recovery: What Does Healing Look Like?

Healing from the loss of a marriage is often a unique and intensely individualized process. Factors that will affect recovery may include:

  • The status of the couple’s finances.
  • Why the couple pursued a divorce.
  • One’s personality, age, mental and/or physical health.
  • How long the couple was a couple.
  • If/how many children the couple had and their ages.
  • Whether the divorce was a surprise.
  • If one or both partners have established new romantic relationships.

The counselors at Thriveworks Bastrop formulate an individualized treatment plan for each client that addresses specific needs and hurts.

Scheduling Counseling for Divorce Recovery at Thriveworks Bastrop

There is no easy formula or quick fix that makes divorce recovery painless. It is okay to fall down, and often people learn just how strong they are as they get back up. Mistakes are part of the process, and so is asking for help. An experienced counselor who is familiar with the pitfalls of divorce recovery can be an invaluable guide on the journey.

If you are going through a divorce or if you have just finalized one, know that you are not alone. Thriveworks Bastrop has appointments available for divorce recovery. Our counselors understand the pain and grief, and we have helped many clients find healing and new life.

Going through a divorce is hard; scheduling therapy should not add to the difficult. When you call our office, a person will answer your call and help schedule an appointment.

Kris Fredericksen has helped me immensely over the past couple of years. I have progressed in leaps and bounds since I first started attending sessions with her. I have had a traumatic childhood, stage 4 cancer, and was in an abusive relationship with an extreme narcissist. After that relationship, my self-esteem was almost non-existent. Shortly after that relationship I started having sessions with Kris. Since then, I have become more stable in life and very successful in my career. I still see Kris and will continue to as life will continue to have its ups and downs. I know I can rely upon Kris to help me take on and learn from anything that comes my way. Life is a great big learning lesson and sometimes you just need someone to give you the right perspective to help you understand, to cope and to grow. Kris is the highly trained professional that I needed and still need to help me continue on that path.
