4O Years Of Changing People's Lives.

MEET DR. BRUCE FISHER

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.

This program continues to improve and it works.

We guarantee it.

How Our Program Works

Image

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.

Image

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.

Image

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.

The Challenges of Starting Over After Divorce at 50

 Starting over after divorce at 50 can be one of the most challenging experiences you will ever face. You may feel like you are losing everything you have worked for and all the plans you have made. You may feel like you are too old to start over or that you have missed your chance to live the life you want. These feelings are natural, and it is essential to acknowledge them and work through them.

One of the biggest challenges of starting over after divorce at 50 is the fear of the unknown. You may be uncertain about what the future holds and feel like you have lost your sense of identity.

With the right support and mindset, you can overcome these challenges and create a new life for yourself.

Another challenge of starting over after divorce at 50 is dealing with the emotional fallout of the divorce. You may feel a range of emotions, including anger, sadness, and fear.
