Happy Life After Divorce: Finding Your Joy Again
A happy life after divorce might sound hard to imagine when you’re in the thick of it, but trust me, it’s possible. Finding happiness after divorce is all about rediscovering what lights you up and building a life that feels truly yours. At Rebuilders International, we’ve seen so many people answer the question, “Are people happier after divorce?” with a big yes—and we’re here to help you get there too. Let’s explore how to find happiness after divorce and make this new chapter your best yet.
Can You Really Be Happier After Divorce?
Absolutely—are people happier after divorce? Many are! A 2023 study showed 62% of divorced folks felt more at peace a year later, especially with the right support. Happiness after divorce comes from letting go of what’s behind you and focusing on what makes you smile. Maybe it’s spending time with friends, picking up a new hobby, or just enjoying your own company. At Rebuilders, we’ve seen folks light up when they start focusing on themselves.
Our Virtual (Zoom) Classes—starting every 2-3 weeks—are a great way to connect with others and share what’s bringing you joy.

The Rebuilders Background:
40 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, teach 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.

How our program works...
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.
The Program Works Regardless of Your Situation!
