Recovering from Divorce through Couples Counseling
“When I first met Tim, I didn’t know what to do. The last thing I wanted after three years of a messy divorce was another relationship. I was actually thinking that I’d never get involved with anybody again…that I’d live out the rest of my days in celibacy. But after Tim and I started couples counseling – which was his suggestion – things started to change. I realized I was harboring so much anger toward my ex that it was keeping me stuck.
The best part about couples counseling is the fact that I can really be me. I really let everything out. I didn’t watch what I said, like I did in front of the children. I wasn’t trying to put on a good face. I was pissed! My husband put me through a lot and if I didn’t get it out of my system, I really believe it would have made me sick.
Now Tim and I are moving forward. We don’t have any plans for marriage but that’s fine. I like taking one day at time. I like having romance in my life without all the drama. But really, without counseling, I don’t think this would have been possible. It helped me breathe again.”

Divorce can really do a number on us mentally and emotionally; so many dashed hopes and hurt feelings – feelings that can stick with you for years and years. Individual or couples counseling gives you the chance to release those painful feelings and open up your heart again.
