Webinar Description
This workshop will use a strengths-based approach to help therapists understand the experience of divorce and provide tools to build resilience, support families in mitigating harm and provide healing and growth during the divorce, after the divorce, and in some cases treating the relationship and communication dysfunctions that can show up years later.
For a child experiencing divorce, there is grief, powerlessness, and attachment injury. That is true in the most stable and peaceful divorces; when disputes continue for lengthy periods of time, the trauma is compounded. Adapting to new circumstances and family norms impacts child development in ways that aren't yet fully understood. In addition, the emerging research on moral injury sheds new light on understanding the complex traumas that many children of divorce experience.
