The Difficult Stages of Divorce

by Dr. Lisa M. Tait

 

Strategies For Navigating the Difficult Stages of Divorce

 

1. Create a Support Network - “Denial and Isolation” are the normal responses or reactions to handling the Tsunami of emotions that hit us after divorce

​

2. Start a Healing Hobby – Once the reality of your new situation hits, anger becomes the easiest, most expressive emotion you can display to show others your current emotional state.

A Clinical Assessment is a one-on-one session between a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and yourself to assess your probability of a Substance Use Disorder. If you are charged with DUI, Reckless Driving, Possession, or BUI, you may be required by a Judge or Probation Officer to have a Clinical AOD Assessment. In many cases, your attorney will suggest that you complete an evaluation prior to your appearance in court. This is only to show that you have taken additional steps in good faith to please the court and further ask for leniency.
