Palm Springs Divorce Recovery Group Begins June, 2012
Marriage Counselor/Divorce Coach, Bev Jewell, is offering another 6 week "Growing Through Divorce™" support group beginning the first week of June. This opportunity is ideal for people who are recently separated, stuck within the divorce process, or who are coping with the aftermath of relationship end months or even years following your breakup.
As you well know, divorce is a crisis that dramatically alters the foundations of a person's life. "Growing Through Divorce™" helps to create a sense of security, community, support and personal growth so people can get through this stage of confusion and grief and start to productively build their new life. Sharing this experience with others who are similarly situated has immense power and benefits.
The group's focus includes moving through the emotional stages of the divorce process in order to reintegrate and rebalance ourselves;. These stages often involve denial that the divorce is really happening, questioning (bargaining) if one could have done more to prevent the divorce, becoming unstuck in patterns of blame/anger at "the other" for "doing this to them". These emotions, as well as the deep sense of loss, have to be addressed and dealt with before forgiveness and acceptance can be approximated or achieved. It is also important to understand the roles that partners played in the marriage, the lessons that can be learned, and to feel gratitude for what was good and wonderful, when it was. Without this healing process people often rebound into another relationship, carrying their previous baggage with them, or transfer their distress to their children or others.
Each group is limited to a maximum of 8 people, in order to create a more personal and intimate dialogue and experience. The workshop is six weeks long. Each session is 90 minutes, The cost is $25 a week per person, and is intended to be affordable.
If this process sounds like it might have value for you, please call Bev Jewell at 760-699-7027 for more information and to reserve your spot in the group!

| Announcing LOS ANGELES FAMILY MEDIATION SERVICES in Beverly Hills, California |
| Posted By Los Angeles Family Mediation Services |
|
310-948-6408The DFMS Team is pleased to announce that we are launching Los Angeles Family Mediation Services (LAFMS) from our offices at 9400 Brighton Way, Suite 207, Beverly Hills, California, 90210, effective June 1, 2011.
Specializing in divorce and family law collaborative mediation, the LAFMS members consist of a retired Los Angeles family law judge, a psychologist, two certified family law specialists, and two M.F.T.'s and mental health professionals. Added together the experience of our Team exceeds 100 years of legal and mental health expertise and wisdom, accumulated in the trenches of family law, custody, and relationship conflict.
Our goal is to provide a complementary, interdisciplinary, and cost-effective resource for assisting families to move forward in constructive ways when marriages and domestic partnerships dissolve in all the cities neighboring downtown Los Angeles.
Our LAFMS website went on-line on May 26, 2011. Please visit us there if you live in the cities surrounding Los Angeles.
We want you to know that we are deeply passionate and eager to help people who would like to avoid the destruction that until very recently all soon-to-be former partners assumed was their rite of passage at relationship end, something that just isn't true. We believe that instead separating couples and partners have other positive and creative choices available to them that may serve not only the domestic disputants themselves, but also their children, their parents and siblings, and every one else with whom they come into contact.
We make a difference in people's lives, and we have a secret to share - You don't have to have an insane dissolution or other familial dispute. There exists fertile middle ground if you care to dig a bit deeper. Allow us to point the way!
The LAFMS Team is comprised of:
*Let us help get you out of this mess, intact!
