Navigating Separation, Divorce & Blended Families: Your Journey, Your Terms
ONLINE AND IN-PERSON THERAPY IN SPOKANE AND ACROSS WA, ID & VT
You never planned to be in this position.
Separation, divorce and navigating blended family shenanigans can make a person feel like they are just not enough. No one plans to get a divorce when they get married, but when this reality hits you, it can feel like you're losing everything, including yourself. The anxiety, the fear, and the unknown become incredibly overwhelming. Blended families can feel this way too. Your first thought is not about how everyone is going to get along until you feel like it’s all falling apart again. You find yourself standing there wondering how you got back to the beginning again.
You’re tired of feeling caught in this cycle:
"People can be so judgmental. I never thought I'd be that person getting divorced, it's hard not to care what others think."
“I love my new partner, but figuring out discipline and parenting styles together in our blended family feels like walking through a minefield”.
"The emotional ups and downs are exhausting. Some days it's hard to get out of bed and face the reality of the divorce."
"Blending families is like trying to mix two different puzzles. Sometimes, the pieces just don't seem to fit together, and it's frustrating."
"Starting over is daunting. It's like being handed a blank canvas and being told to paint a completely new picture."
