We offer a Personalized One-On-One Divorce Coaching Program and an After Divorce Group Coaching Program. Both programs are based on the Rebuilding When Your Relationship Ends Program by Dr. Bruce Fisher.
The reading assignments listed are chapters in the book Rebuilding, When Your Relationship Ends, third edition, by Drs. Bruce Fisher and Robert Alberti.
The topics which are typically the most important and challenging and you will benefit the most by covering them during the program are the ones outlined below. If time and energy permit, it would be helpful to read the chapters in the book which are not emphasized in the outlined program.
Next Level Services’ After Divorce Coaching Program is designed in two parts.
Part One includes:
A Free 60-Minute Introductory Teleclass outlining the Rebuilding Blocks as described in the Rebuilding materials. A Teleclass is where individuals all call into a centralized telephone number to hear a lecture and participate in a class held over the telephone. Long Distances charges apply. People who have recently divorced (up to five years ago) are hurting and often don’t know who to turn to and have a hard time putting into words what they are feeling.
This initial teleclass will:
Let you know you are not alone.
Help you to put words to some of the emotions you are feeling.
Briefly explain the Rebuilding Blocks as described in Dr. Fisher’s work.
Explain the Group Coaching process.
Help you to determine if this program is right for you. If it is, participants will be placed in a Group.
There will be Group Coaching calls every other week with “Buddy Calls” set up on the off-weeks. Group Coaching Calls consist of 4-8 individuals of the same sex calling into a common conference call line to all be coached together. “Buddy Calls” are calls with another After Divorce Group Coaching member to continue learning and review “homework” from the previous Group Call.
Call details:

Group Call 2: Adaptation
"But It Worked When I Was a Kid." You may have learned and developed “adaptive” behavior during your formative years in order to get your needs met. This adaptive behavior may become “maladaptive” behavior in your adult relationships. You may find it helpful to develop more authentic behavior.

Group Call 3: Grief
"There’s This Terrible Feeling of Loss." An important aspect of ending a love relationship is grieving your various losses of love. There is a connection between overcoming denial, grieving, and disentangling from the former love partner.

Group Call 4: Anger
"Damn the S.O.B.!" Ending a love relationship can result in feelings of anger. Resolving this anger will allow you to find forgiveness for yourself and for your former love partner. It is important to deal with your angry feelings because they can last for months and maybe years after the physical separation.
