Going through a divorce can be scary and confusing. It may feel like you are in the middle of an emotional and legal tornado with no idea where or when it will end. Or, it may feel like you have just landed in a foreign country without a map or ability to speak the language. There is so much information to learn and consider, especially when having to make important decisions for you, and your children’s future.

A Divorce Coach helps you stay focused and balanced during your divorce and is there to help you handle emotional issues that might otherwise get in the way of the divorce process. Robin Brown can be an important asset in helping you cope with the intricacies, stresses, and turmoil that often comes with a divorce, and can aid in normalizing the strain and uncertainty of it all. She provides compassionate and useful feedback for a wide variety of issues and provides a safe place where you can share your frustrations, anger, and sadness.

As a Divorce Coach, Robin Brown does not and cannot provide legal advice. That is what your attorney is for. However, Robin can provide invaluable assistance to your attorney and can be a vital member of a divorce team. It is estimated that only about 20% of what is dealt with in a divorce matter is legal---the remaining 80% is emotional. Having Robin as your Divorce Coach allows your lawyer to stay centered on what he/she knows and does best; the law, thus allowing you to be able to move through the divorce process with fewer disputes that can result in escalating legal fees.

A Divorce Coach does not provide therapy or counseling, although they may be a mental health professional. Unlike psychotherapists, counselors or psychologists, Divorce Coaches are proactive. Robin will stay in regular contact with you during your divorce, which can either be through scheduled coaching sessions in person or over the phone. However, you are not limited to these sessions alone. You will have ongoing support between sessions and can contact your coach through email or emergency phone calls. This between session support helps alleviate the possibility of problems becoming too big before they are addressed so you can make more effective and positive choices. Robin can help you be proactive and take preventative measures, allowing you to make significant decisions with less stress and emotional turmoil.

In summary, Robin Brown can help you by:

• Supporting you and your children during the divorce process.
• Opening up your options with parenting and co-parenting.
• Teaching you how to set up emotional boundaries when interacting with your former spouse.
• Helping you cope with a difficult litigation process.
• Helping you be more effective with and for your attorney.
• Helping you be prepared for mediation or court.
• Helping you cope with your own self-doubt, frustration, anger, sadness fear and loneliness.
• Teaching you to create a balance between the divorce process and getting on with your life.
