You Are Unique.
Group classes are tremendously helpful but we know that people also have some very difficult situations that they are dealing with. When working with a coach One-on-One you can dramatically accelerate the process and get guidance on YOUR situation in a focused, personalized process.
A lot of people try therapy as the deal with divorce. Many find that therapy does not give them the results that they are looking for. Coaching does.
We offer a variety of self paced programs in which you are guided step-by-step. You can focus on a particular area of recovery or get our proven 10 step recovery program. These courses will fit into any schedule and some you can get started for free. All come with a money back guarantee. You also have the option of adding private coaching as well.
The founder of the Rebuilders program was Dr. Bruce Fisher (1931-1998). He was born in Iowa but spent most of his adult life in Boulder, Colorado. He was a popular divorce therapist, author, teacher and a Clinical Member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. As he worked with clients dealing with divorce he realized that traditional therapy didn’t work efficiently.
He began working with his clients in groups and eventually found that there are 19 “steps” that people must work through to effectively “Rebuild” their lives. From this work he wrote the book “Rebuilding When Your Relationship Ends.” We still use this book as a reference in our classes. Since he wrote the book over 30 years ago we have learned a lot and the program has evolved considerably. Now we find that there are more “steps” and that there are some elements that Dr. Fisher wasn’t aware of or misunderstood. However, he still created a powerful foundation for the program that we run today.
Head
Your thinking, mindset, beliefs, and values all influence how you respond to the traumatic experience of divorce. We show you how to step outside of the rumination about the past. Learn to step outside of the normal traps that keep people stuck thinking about the past.
Heart
Many people suppress, depress, or repress their feelings. Divorce brings so many "difficult" feelings. We give you tools to work through them, use them, and feel the "good" feelings again - like HAPPINESS, JOY, AND LOVE.
Identity
In marriages people "lose" themselves. When the marriage ends they don't know who they are as a single person. We help you connect with yourself so that you can be comfortable being alone in your own skin.
Rebuilders is committed to helping EVERYONE, regardless of their financial situation.
It is a very difficult time in your life when you are facing the possibility of divorce. We offer a wide variety of tools, information and personal coaching to help you.
Divorce can feel like a social earthquake—friends drift, invitations dry up, and you’re left wondering how to start over. It’s tempting to hide out, but real connection is what brings life back. At Rebuilders International, we’ve spent over 40 years helping people rebuild their social circles through our proven approach, backed by the Fisher Divorce Adjustment Scale (FDAS). This isn’t about forcing friendships—it’s about finding ties that fit who you are now. Here’s how our structured method can guide you today.
Divorce doesn’t just change your relationship—it rewires your social map. Old friends may not know how to show up, or you might feel like you don’t fit anymore. People often say, “Just get out there,” but that can feel hollow when you’re still finding your footing. Our method, refined over decades, shows that rebuilding starts with trust—in yourself and others. The FDAS, with its .93 reliability, proves active steps toward connection boost confidence and joy. Let’s dive in.
These steps, drawn from our 10-week workshop, use our unique tools to move you from isolation to authentic relationships, rooted in our focus on trust and connection:
Check Your Starting Point
You can’t rebuild until you know where you stand. Our free self-test takes 10 minutes and shows how ready you are to connect. Low trust scores? That’s normal early on. In our groups, one woman saw her score and said, “I’m not broken—just starting.” Knowing your baseline, like our disentanglement work, sets you up to grow.
Affirm “I Am Enough”
Divorce can make you doubt your place in any room. Our core belief? You’re a “gem,” worthy of connection. Try this daily: say, “I am enough,” in the mirror. A man in our support group said this gave him guts to join a game night. This practice, tied to our self-worth tools, builds confidence to reach out.
Lean on Our Community
You’re not alone in this. Our online groups connect you with others navigating the same path—like how to handle a barbecue without your ex. One member found a coffee buddy after sharing a story. Swap ideas, laugh, and see connection is closer than you think. Our trust-building exercises show small talks lead to real bonds.
Try One New Step
New friends need a spark. Pick one thing you enjoy—maybe a book club, a hike, or volunteering—and go once. Our program teaches that action shifts your world. A client said a pottery class led to her first post-divorce friend. Choose one activity that feels like you—it’s a door to people who match your vibe.
Reach Out with Ease
Meaningful ties start small. Our groups use a “treasured list” exercise—naming one person you’d like to know better and taking a tiny step, like texting, “Great seeing you!” A participant said this turned a coworker into a weekend pal. It’s about acting from care, not pressure, creating friendships that feel right.
Rebuilding your social circle post-divorce isn’t about replacing old friends—it’s about finding people who see the real you. Our structured approach has helped thousands since 1974, with workshop completers since 2021 showing stronger social trust via FDAS scores. You can build your crew too, one honest step at a time.
Making new connections takes courage, but our programs—online, in-person, or self-paced—give you tools and a community to make it real. Visit our homepage or book a free clarity call. Want to ease in? Join our free support group Tuesdays online.

When you are dealing with divorce there is a lot going on. There are legal issues, financial issues, emotional issues, parenting issues and more. When faced with all of these pressures we see that people that pay attention to the emotional effect of divorce are better able to navigate everything else much better.
