Attorney
You wouldn’t think twice about bringing in a consultant or business coach if you needed help launching a new product, expanding into a new market, or rethinking your business model. Why? Because even though you’re smart and capable, you know that outside expertise can help you see blind spots, anticipate challenges, and create a strategy for success.
So why wouldn’t you seek similar help when you are going through a period of change in your personal life? Divorce is uncharted territory, so hiring someone — or a few someones — to guide you through its ups and downs is a smart move.
While Attorney Bob Matteucci is ready to help guide you past the legal landmines of divorce, he will tell you himself he is the most ill-equipped therapist in Albuquerque. He’s more than ready to dive into the nitty-gritty details of your financial life and outline your options so you can start your post-divorce life on a firm foundation. But he’s not able to help you figure out how to live that life to the fullest, that’s what a therapist is for.
How Therapy Helps During Divorce
Hiring a therapist is like hiring an accountant or consultant for your life. They aren’t going to tell you how to run things, but they will give you the tools you need to assess and manage the emotional impact of divorce so you can decide how to move forward. And just as coaching can help a business owner see opportunities they might have missed, therapy can help you discover strengths and resilience you didn’t know you had.
Still on the fence? Think about whether you would benefit from the following:
Clarity in Decision-Making
Divorce involves many high-stakes financial and personal choices. Therapy can help reduce stress and keep you thinking clearly.
Tools for Managing Stress
Therapists provide practical strategies for handling anxiety, sleeplessness, and that feeling of overwhelm, allowing you to stay grounded through the process.
Improved Communication
If you’re co-parenting or working to maintain a cordial relationship with your ex-spouse, therapy can help you navigate difficult conversations with less conflict.
Support for Your Identity Shift
Divorce often means redefining yourself outside of the marriage. Therapy helps you process that transition and build confidence in your new chapter.
Providing a Safe Outlet
Running a business while going through divorce is demanding. Therapy gives you a safe outlet to process emotions so don’t bring them to work with you.
A Forward-Looking Perspective
Instead of dwelling on the past, therapy can help you focus on goals for your next phase of life. This dovetails with the legal aspects of divorce since it shapes your tactics and goals at the negotiating table.
Divorce often involves layers of complexity. While Attorney Bob Matteucci can help you handle the legal and financial aspects of it, a therapist can help ensure you’re mentally equipped to navigate the change and make sound, forward-looking decisions.
Serving Families with Dignity & Compassion
In business, smart leaders know they don’t have to go it alone. The same is true in life. Going to therapy during divorce isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s a sign that you’re treating this transition with the same foresight and professionalism you bring to every other part of your life.
