Sitting down with a therapist may help you sort out your thoughts and feelings and set the right tone for the next chapter of your life. Learn more about mental health options for those dissolving a marriage. 

Reasons to consider therapy

During a major life event such as divorce, you may need someone to help you gain and maintain a healthy perspective on the situation. If you have never divorced, you likely do not know what to expect or what to do regarding taking proper care of your mental health. Therapists can anchor you and offer guidance when you need it most. 

Types of therapy

You have several options for therapy during a divorce. With individual therapy, you receive professional support for anxiety, depression, panic or similar mental health conditions common during divorce. You and your soon-to-be-ex-spouse may want to attend couples therapy, where you learn how to have a healthy divorce and minimize fallout. If you have shared children, you may all want to see a family therapist, so your children can learn how to manage and understand their thoughts and emotions during their parents’ split. 

Therapeutic strategies

Therapists can teach you strategies for coping with the ill effects of a marital split. For instance, mindful meditation can ground you and keep your mind from racing, and engaging in self-care helps manage stress and boost your mental resiliency. 

Give yourself every advantage during your divorce. Sitting down with a therapist could aid you more than you may realize.
