I would highly recommend this. Divorce is likely to come with certain traumas and issues that a psychologist may be able to help you cope with..
A psychologist primary uses testing methods to assist patients. Often people experience grief and depression and good counselor can help.
If you're sending this email asking that question, I would recommend you see someone. Any life transition is difficult, but grief can be very complicated. Everyday life looks different and there can be so many important moving parts to process. The first year is always the hardest because so much is new and different.
Divorce is one of the more stressful developments a person may encounter in the course of a lifetime, and while many people muddle through without support, it can be very helpful to speak to a psychologist during and after divorce. There are two major streams of stress, at least, a divorcing person needs to navigate. One is the onslaught of logisitical challenges: moving, visitation schedules, support, financial changes. Another is the emotional backwash which may include anger, sadness, regret, guilt, confusion. A psychologist can help you regain and maintain equilibrium, redirect impulses that aren't helpful, develop realistic plans, and recover a realistically hopeful outlook.
Hi, Thank you for your question. Yes, therapy can help after divorce! It is a safe place to process any thoughts or feelings you may be experiencing, work through grieving the loss of your marriage, and get support regarding potential legal issues. I hope this has been helpful! Best,
Divorce is a form of grief and loss. My suggestion would be to talk with someone and see where you stand emotionally. It would definitely help with your recovery.
The decision to seek mental health help by a licensed social worker, therapist or psychologist varies for each individual. If you would like support to work through any issues and emotions, finding a professional you feel comfortable working with is a good place to start.
Hello, Seeing a therapist after a major life event can help a great deal in processing unexpected emotions, as well as help individuals navigate new challenges in life. I hope you find the support you need. Thank you, Lindsay
As with any emotional change or loss it is always good to speak to someone with an open mind. Speaking with your religious leader or a therapist can aid in mitigating the feelings of loss, hurt and more importantly getting closure to move on.
Yes any mental health counselor will do as long as he or she specializes in treating patients suffering from a failed marriage.
Divorce is a major life event. People enter marriage thinking it will last forever. Marriages dissolve for various reasons. People adjust differently. A therapist can provide a private space to talk, objectively look at how you are doing and provide suggestions for you to build your new life.
So, many people find therapy helpful. If you are having symptoms which are interfering with your life (sadness, rumination, increased drinking or drug use, acting impulsively, or being too open about your problems), a psychologist or other qualified therapist would be a great idea.
Divorce always represents a transition. Working with a therapist is advised if this transition involves significant challenges or stress. In any event it cannot hurt and an honest therapist will let you know if they feel you can benefit
Maybe
No!
A divorce is a major life transition, you may find counseling beneficial to help you through this time.
