#195 - How to Stop a Divorce
05/11/20 • 60 min
Is your partner threatening divorce? Are you? If so this is certainly a relationship crisis... but not necessarily the end. In fact, when couples are on the brink of divorce, it can be a turning point for a marriage.
On this episode, I'm sharing some from-the-heart advice learned from my years as a marriage counselor about things you can do to stop this runaway train, and have new conversations with your partner to start the process of healing.
I am also aware that there are situations where you cannot stop a divorce if your partner has made up their mind. I also have some advice for how to handle this, and offer some concrete strategies for having the healthiest and most collaborative parting as possible.
I hope that all the advice helps you find your way through this confusing, and scary time, and that the path forward is one of growth for you -- no matter how things unfold.
With love and respect,
Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby

Life After Loss
LIFE AFTER LOSS: We've all recently experienced losses great and small. Some losses feel sad but manageable, such as the loss of the ability meet with friends. Other losses are harder to cope with, like losing your job, or even giving birth to a child without the support of your partner there.
But the worst loss of all, and the one too many around the world are facing, is the loss of a cherished, irreplaceable loved one. There are no words to describe the enormity of the devastation losing a loved one brings. The grief is overwhelming, and feels endless.
How can you cope with grief? How do you manage the waves of sadness? Most importantly, how do you heal and rebuild your life after loss?
Life After Loss: Grief Counseling Experts Weigh In
To support you in rebuilding yourself and your life after loss, I've asked two of my colleagues to join me for a very special episode of The Love, Happiness and Success Podcast.
I asked them to talk about the nature of grief and loss, what you can expect when you're grieving, how to cope with the feelings, and ways to compassionately navigate the healing process ahead of you.
They were kind enough to generously share their wisdom and grief counseling advice for things like:
- Why ideas about the "5 stages of grief" are misleading, and what you can really expect when you're coping with loss.
- Why it's so important to give yourself permission to feel all the feelings, without judgment or shame.
- How to step in and out of grief so that it's not overwhelming.
- What the path of healing from grief involves, so you can understand what lies ahead.
- How to release the past and shift back into hope and gratitude for some losses.
- How to compassionately release the idea of "getting over it" and instead find ways of deepening your relationship with a loved one, even after they're physically gone.
We offer all this information with a sincere hope that it provides you with comfort, compassion and direction that supports you in YOUR journey of healing.

Feeling Trapped?
When you're in a situation you're unhappy in but feel that the exits are blocked and that you have no good options, it's easy to feel trapped. Perhaps you're in an unhappy relationship, but can't leave. Or you feel forced to stay in a job you hate. Or your circumstances are limiting your empowerment and growth.
When change feels futile, or impossible, it's easy to feel helpless, disempowered, and trapped.
Does this sound familiar at all? If so, you're not alone. We all hit a wall sometimes. The good news is that there is a way out. Through using your creativity and giving yourself permission to entertain new thoughts, you'll either find new solutions... or inner peace.
Listen, and learn about how to get unstuck when you're feeling trapped on this episode of the podcast.
