Divorce is one of the major
stressors of american life, especially since most marriages in the United States end in
divorce. It is usually a traumatic and gut-wrenching experience, as many things
that we once held dear and dependable are gone from our lives. Anger and
resentment can linger for many male divorcees, and both anxiety and depression can dominate our daily lives if we do not find a way to express our deeply held
emotions and process our pain and suffering.
Despite these difficulties, surviving divorce is an opportunity to begin redefining our sense of self in the world while we go about the business of reinventing our lives. As we open up to our grief and depth of emotion, we also increase our capacity for joy and contact with others. We can begin to move towards the unknown with faith and trust, and to explore possibilities that we have previously ignored and avoided. We can begin to transform our surviving into thriving.
This group is facilitated by a psychotherapist who has personally experienced the trauma and loss inherent in the separation and divorce of a long-term marriage, and who now specializes in helping men to grow beyond their pain and suffering while finding pathways to reconnect with love, energy, and purpose. There are aspects of this journey that are best shared with other men in a safe, sacred, and respectful environment. RSVP 415-264-8892.
