Starting Divorce counseling

What is divorce counseling?

Thriveworks divorce counseling in Richmond, VA 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.

How long does divorce counseling last?

The amount of divorce counseling sessions will vary from one person to the next, depending on their specific needs. However, it typically lasts for several weeks or months.

What Causes Divorce?

After decades of studying marriages and divorces, Psychologist John Gottman identified the four biggest predictors of divorce. The specific scenario leading to divorce may vary (lying, irresponsible behavior, adultery, etc.), but these attitudes drive couples apart:

  • Contempt: Disrespect between partners causes marriages to flounder and often end in divorce.
  • Defensiveness: Partners who do not accept responsibility for their attitudes and actions often drive the couple apart.
  • Criticism: Negativity kills intimacy, making divorce inevitable if critical interactions outweigh positive ones.
  • Stonewalling: Avoiding or denying problems allows them to grow, leading to divorce.

More than likely, one or more of these dynamics were at play within your marriage. Each creates a toxic environment, and coming out of it requires detox and healing. Many people choose to pursue recovery after a divorce to set themselves up for a lifetime of healthier relationships.

Why Pursue Divorce Recovery?

Recovering from the loss of a marriage is a very personal process shaped by many factors, including:

  • The length of the marriage
  • The reason for the divorce
  • Whether the divorce was a surprise
  • Whether the couple had children
  • The state of finances
  • New relationships
  • Personality, mental health, age, and physical health

The healing process is a difficult road full of distractions and dangers. Falling down and getting back up is normal and often shows people how strong they truly are. It’s okay to make mistakes and to reach out for help.
