Tips for Dealing with Stress and Anxiety Throughout a Divorce

October 22, 2015 by West Coast ADR

Even during a collaborative divorce in British Columbia, you may face a fair amount of anxiety and stress throughout the process, and it’s important to know how you can deal with this. Below are a few tips that may help:

1. Remember that it takes hard work. If you think it’s going to be quick and easy from the beginning, it can be discouraging when it takes a lot of time and effort. The right mindset from the get-go makes that easier.

2. Focus on what you have. People often feel like they are losing a lot in the divorce, especially if it really limits their financial future. Instead of focusing on that, think about what you do have—a warm home, a bed to sleep in, and perhaps your children. Things are changing, but life is still very good on the whole.

3. Channel your energy into positive action. It’s easy to feel scared or stressed, and it may be unavoidable. Rather than letting it overwhelm you, use this energy to push you and help you work toward what you want.

4. Remember that you may never be fully free from a relationship with your ex. This is especially true if you have children. Again, it’s all about having the right mindset. If you realize that you have to deal with this person, even if it’s hard, you can commit yourself to work toward making the most of it, rather than constantly wishing you didn’t have to do it.

If you’d like to learn more helpful tips or find out if a collaborative divorce is right for you, please contact us today.
