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.
As you would expect, men and women experience divorce very differently. Society tells us that women struggle more than men. As it turns out, men often find divorce more challenging to their overall health and well-being.
According to a recent study from the Journal of Men’s Health, divorced men are more susceptible to heart disease, high blood pressure, and strokes than married men are — in addition to being 39 percent more likely to commit suicide and engage in risky behavior.
To understand a little more about divorce and the typical effects it has on men, women and children it is helpful to know the facts.
50% of all marriages end in divorce. And while this is somewhat accurate, it’s also a bit misleading. Age is a factor in this percentage. Those who marry when between the ages of 20 to 24 have the highest rate of divorce.
67% percent of all second marriages end in divorce and 73% of all third marriages.
50% of all children are children of divorced parents.
Women initiate divorce twice as often as men.
90% of divorced mothers have custody of their children (even if they did not receive it in court.)
60% of people under poverty guidelines are divorced women and children.
Single mothers support up to four children on an average after-tax annual income of $12,200.
65% divorced mothers receive no child support and 75% receive court-ordered child support.
After divorce, women experience less stress and better adjustment in general than do men. The reasons for this are that (1) women are more likely to notice marital problems and to feel relief when such problems end, (2) women are more likely than men to rely on social support systems and help from others, and (3) women are more likely to experience an increase in self-esteem when they divorce and add new roles to their lives.
Women who work and place their children in child care experience a greater stigma than men in the same position. Men in the same position often attract support and compassion.
For men:
Men are usually confronted with greater emotional adjustment problems than women. The reasons for this are related to the loss of intimacy, the loss of social connection, reduced finances, and the common interruption of the parental role.
Men tend to remarry more quickly than women.
As compared to “deadbeat dads,” men who have shared parenting (joint legal custody), ample time with their children, and an understanding of and direct responsibility for activities and expenses of children, stay involved in their children’s lives and are in greater compliance with child support obligations. There is also a greater satisfaction with child support amount when negotiated in mediation.
Men are initially more negative about divorce than women and devote more energy in attempting to salvage the marriage.
These facts and figures give us the bigger picture of how divorce affects men, women and children across America. What it doesn’t tell us are the individual stories and how it impacts lives.
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.
