DIVORCE COACHING
A Divorce Coach can be one of the best investments you make in the divorce process.
Many people rely on attorneys, financial advisors, business experts and other professionals to get through the complicated issues in divorce.
But getting a divorce is not just a legal process. It’s an emotional process as well.
No matter your resilience, you are not immune to the heightened level of stress that comes with a divorce. It will inevitably impact your sleep, your ability to concentrate and your ability to accomplish even the smallest tasks.
In the midst of this stressful divorce process, you will have to make some significant decisions that will impact you and your children for years down the road.
That’s where a Divorce Coach comes in. A Divorce Coach is a trained professional who has the expertise to guide you through the difficult aspects of the divorce process.
Your Divorce Coach is a neutral thinking partner and is undoubtedly one of the best investments you will ever make.
What is Divorce Coaching?
Divorce coaching is a very proactive, solution-focused approach that is geared towards helping you navigate through the difficult hurdles you are likely to experience through the divorce process.
Divorce coaching will help you make informed decisions that directly impact your future.
Coaching is not therapy. While therapy focuses on feelings and understanding the past, coaching is more action-oriented in devising plans for problem-solving and moving forward.
Essentially, coaching can help you to assess where you are going, how you are going to get there, and how to handle stressful situations as they arise. Relying on your coach’s expertise will keep you on track with your divorce.
You don’t have to go through this alone.

Getting a divorce is a scary step.
So many clients dread facing this chapter. However, having a team and a solid plan of action will help you to get through the divorce with greater clarity and confidence.
Some common examples of what clients struggle with once they decide to leave the marriage are:
- How do I tell my spouse?
- How do we tell the kids?
- How will the kids react to the news?
- My spouse and I already have communication problems and it’s likely to get worse. How do I plan to communicate moving forward?
- My spouse may become angry/resentful. How do I deal with this?
- Should I stay in the marital home or leave?
- How will I survive without a dual source of income?
- How can I get through mediation or a trial?
- How will I cope with all of this?
- What will my life look like after a divorce?
The more you can anticipate these situations before you actually face them, the more prepared you will feel.

NARCISSISM AND DIVORCE
The only thing harder than being married to a narcissist is divorcing one.
If you’re looking to create your own closure after narcissistic abuse, you’re in the right place.
A narcissist will not give it to you.
Over the years, CGG’s Divorce Coach, Dr. Leah Nathan, noted that a significant number of clients were describing their spouse as a “narcissist” while less than 5% of the population is actually diagnosed with this personality disorder. She realized that, regardless of whether the client’s spouse was actually diagnosed with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (“NPD”), the experiences being described provided a context for further understanding what her clients endured.
This gave birth to the Narcissism Abuse Recovery Webinar.
Contact Your Divorce Coach, Leah Nathan to schedule a 1:1 to equip yourself with strategies needed to successfully divorce a spouse with narcissistic traits. Email lnathan@cgglawyers.com today!
