Thrive After Divorce: Men's Online
Divorce Support Group
For residents of California, North Carolina, and Florida
Facilitated by Virginia Gilbert, LMFT
Is your time in the shower spent ruminating about the ways divorce has messed up your life? Do you lie awake at night wondering how to co-parent with your unreasonable ex? Is your anger threatening the stability of your new relationship – or worse, spilling onto the kids? Are you sick of feeling frustrated, stressed out, and alone?
Do you wish you could go to therapy to start to feel better but you can’t afford it?
I was like you once. I felt completely overwhelmed by divorce chaos and didn't have the money for individual therapy. So I went to a couple sessions of a divorce support group -- only to end up feeling worse because group members were bleeding out emotionally and the therapist wasn't teaching us strategies to change our situation. Many of the members had been coming to the group for years. My takeaway was that no one got over divorce, ever. The group made me feel much worse about my problems, so I left.
But the problem wasn't with the people, or even with divorce. The problem was that the facilitator enabled unbridled venting instead of teaching us how to get better.
So I've put together the group I wish I'd had when I was going through my divorce 20 years ago.
The only difference is this one is just for men – because men need their own space to talk about the unique ways divorce affects them.
This virtual group is designed to help you get out of the ruminating-anger-stress spiral and learn skills to manage stressors so you can feel happy and hopeful again. In this 8-week group, you'll understand how to:
- Navigate the stages of divorce grief
- Set and follow a "divorce curfew" so you can unwind
- Regulate your overactive and/or numbed-out nervous system
- Stop letting anger derail your present
- Shift from a marriage mindset to a business mindset
- Communicate strategically, not reactively!
- Practice Radical Acceptance and focus on what you can control
- Create a post-divorce personal growth plan
