Counseling for Divorce Recovery in Boston, MA—Counselors and Therapists

Divorce often feels like the end, but the reality is that it is just the end of a marriage. There are many new beginnings that can come from the loss. When people pursue divorce recovery, they often come through the pain and find a life that is different but good. The process is difficult but almost always worth it, and no one has to go through divorce recovery alone. Therapists, psychologists, and counselors often give much-needed support and guidance.

Thriveworks Boston provides therapy and counseling for divorce recovery, and we have helped many clients navigate new realities and find happiness again. If you think that you could benefit from working with a therapist who specialized in divorce recovery, reach out today to schedule an appointment.

What Does Divorce Recovery Look Like?

In many ways, healing from the loss of a marriage is a deeply personal process. Many factors will affect what divorce recovery looks like. Some of those factors may include…

  • Whether the divorce was anticipated.
  • How long the relationship lasted.
  • The circumstances that led to the divorce.
  • The couple’s financial situation.
  • Each person’s age, personality, mental and/or physical health.
  • If the couple has children, how many, and how old they are.
  • Whether new romantic relationships have formed.

A skilled therapist can formulate a treatment plan that meets each person’s individual needs, but that treatment plan will almost always include grief counseling and processing the past.

  1. Grief Counseling: When a marriage ends, there are many losses. Of course, the relationship with the spouse changes, if not ends completely, but that is only the beginning. If children are involved, transitioning to co-parenting or single parenting involves many changes and losses. People may lose their home or their standard of living. Often, friendships and relationships with in-laws shift or end. During grief, people experience a wide range of emotions, including sadness, denial, guilt, shock, anger, bargaining, and fear. They may even ricochet quickly between these feelings.
  2. Processing the Past: Looking back to understand what happened in a previous marriage is a difficult but important step. Doing so often gives people important information about what wounds they have suffered, how to heal them, and what adjustments to make in future relationships. Skipping this step may mean people repeat old patterns and become stuck. Growth is painful, but worth the effort.

My therapist has taken the time to understand me. I am able to speak about myself openly without fear of judgement or not being heard. She also helps me discover my own values naturally and recognize the progress I've made despite any frustrations I experience along the way.
