Why Do People Need Divorce Recovery Counseling?
Most individuals seek divorce counseling when they face a crisis in their marriage or have gotten divorced. These conflicts can arise from ongoing issues, recent affairs, addiction, or other challenges that have caused a deadlock in the relationship. When dealing with infidelity, a specific approach is necessary.
Patience, hard work, and support from the counseling process, including the involvement of new members in the support system, are necessary for moving toward forgiveness and rebuilding trust. Forgiveness is a choice that can be extended when the time is right, after acknowledging the pain and resentment. However, rebuilding trust depends on the consistent and right behavior of the person over time. While forgiveness is a choice, trust is closely tied to the actions of the other person. Rebuilding trust may be more challenging if similar behavior has occurred in the past, intensifying the pain caused by the current situation.
One significant issue observed during couples' struggles is Negative Sentiment Override. Instead of embodying the belief that "Love Hopes all things," individuals may develop a negative perception of their ex-spouse's communication. Divorce counseling aims to address these challenges and guide couples toward effective resolution.
During our sessions, we explore the factors contributing to any negative perceptions in your relationship, to foster forgiveness and grace. We aim to create a positive sentiment override and establish a foundation for counseling.
Individuals often come to us when they are distressed, discouraged, or traumatized by recent events in their marriage. We understand the importance of listening to both sides of the story to formulate a preliminary strategy by the end of the first session.
At Samaritan's Well, we value experience and a clear process. We also incorporate prayer and scriptures during sessions, depending on the couple's openness.
As part of our approach, we may assign homework to supplement the topics covered during the session. This can include improving communication skills, rebuilding friendship, or working on forgiveness. We tailor our plans to meet your specific needs.
We pray that God guides you to the right place for your divorce recovery, and we are here to support you in your journey.
