The Emotional Cost of a Divorce

April 19, 2023 By Jami Fosgate

Divorce is a complex and emotionally draining process that can take a significant toll on anyone.

In addition to the financial costs, there are emotional costs that can have a long-term impact on your health.

A divorce can be a rollercoaster of emotions that most people have never been through before and it is important to have someone to share your emotions with during the process. I always suggest that couples going through a divorce get some counseling or therapy. Seeking professional help, either individually or in a group setting, can provide an outlet for those emotions, allowing you to express your feelings in a safe and supportive environment. A professional therapist or counselor, a trusted friend, or a pastor or clergy member can provide the guidance and support you need to navigate the emotional turmoil that comes with a divorce.

Not dealing with your emotions during a divorce can have consequences for your mental health.

You may end up holding your emotions inside, which can lead to stress, anxiety, and depression and your emotions may come out in unhealthy ways, such as excessive drinking or drug us or other dangerous behaviors.

Financial Cost of Not Dealing with Your Emotions

Addressing the emotional costs of your divorce can also help reduce the financial costs. When your mind is clouded by emotions, it is challenging to make sound financial decisions. Seeking counseling or therapy can help you stay emotionally calm during the divorce process. You will be able to make better legal and financial decisions that will ultimately save you time and money.

If you’re going through a divorce, it is crucial that you not to try to handle the emotional burden by yourself.

Divorce is a traumatic life event that can leave you feeling lost and overwhelmed. Seeking professional help during this time can provide the guidance and support you need to manage your emotions and make better legal and financial decisions. Investing in your emotional health during a divorce can help set the stage for you and your children to have a better future.
