Importance of Having a Divorce Coach
Divorcing a narcissist? You may be asking, do I need a divorce coach?
When I started my journey in 2009, I had a wonderful support system in place. While those around me meant well, no one truly "got it." Back then, no one even knew what "it" (divorcing a narcissist) was. There were no resources available - so I began to create resources as I made my way through the system.
When I began providing divorce coaching services (2012), I had never heard the term "divorce coach." I didn't have a title -- I simply became the person that I would have wanted on my team. I became the strategy partner that others needed when their emotional bandwidth was stretched thin. I fully understood the crossroad of family court and the narcissist, and I knew that it required a skilled approach to communication that would paint the healthy parent in the best possible light. I was thrust into a foreign land, culture and dialog and I immersed myself in it until I became fluent in all things, "divorcing a narcissist."
As I transition from a career that I love (high-conflict divorce coaching) into family court advocacy, I am training others to do the work that I've been doing for a decade. I have coach graduates in the United States, Canada, Switzerland, Israel and the Netherlands. Soon, we will have graduates in Wales and Australia. We are creating a movement and, we are creating strategy partners to help others navigate the most difficult chapter of their lives.
I remember when I first started my blog, One Mom’s Battle in 2011. I said, “If I can ensure one person feels less alone, it will be worth it. This is an isolating journey by default but no one needs to do this alone.
If you resonate with any of the following statements, you need a divorce coach on your team:
I am new to divorcing a narcissist and I don’t want to make mistakes.
I am struggling with radical acceptance and managing my expectations.
I struggle with what (and how) to document.
I have been using gray rock communication and it’s hurting my case.
I don’t understand what matters to the court system and I feel lost.
I feel alone and no one understands – my own therapist seems baffled.
I am at odds with my attorney, and I don’t feel heard.
I am facing a custody evaluation and I don’t know how to prepare.
The judge sees me as part of the problem and I don’t know how to turn this around.
