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.

Don't be alone!

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.

Free Divorce Resources

Rebuilders is committed to helping EVERYONE, regardless of their financial situation.

The Program Works Regardless of Your Situation!

Finding Community: Divorce Support Groups Near You

March 02, 20255 min read

Divorce can get extremely isolating, making you want to rush into bad decisions and bad habits. The number of 80,057 divorces in 2022 in England and Wales may have decreased by 29% compared to 2021, yet there are people like you suffering and looking for help.   So, instead of falling into bad habits and adding more to the problems, you can decide to get help. It can be from someone who understands your situation and is there to offer all the help you need. Now, it is a choice you have to make. If you think you don’t have any support around, you are not looking closely.  All you need is to find the divorce support group around you. These groups are determined to offer emotional relief, guidance, and a sense of community so you don’t get astray in the dark. 

What else do you need to know about it? Let’s see. 

Benefits of Divorce Support Groups

You might be concerned about how support can help when your own loved ones can’t. Well, your loved ones may not be experienced in dealing with such trauma, but the divorce group leaders are. They can help in different ways, and some of the prominent ones are: 

  1. Coping with Feelings: 

We sometimes suppress our emotions in order to deal with the day-to-day tasks and activities of life. This group will help you slow down, identify feelings as they occur, and develop strategies to deal with unexpected large feelings as they arise. Working with your emotions rather than battling them allows you to resolve them and move forward in your life.

  1. Connection: 

Divorce or separation can leave you feeling isolated and lonely. Perhaps you haven't told everyone in your social circle that you're going through this, and you're not ready to tell them yet. Perhaps you've told some individuals, but their replies haven't been as encouraging as you'd hoped.  Perhaps you are getting acclimated to your new schedule as a single person. A support group can link you with other people going through a separation or divorce who understand and empathize with your situation.

  1. Perspective and Insight: 

Divorce can often feel like the end of the world, but joining a support group can provide a more comprehensive view. Hearing other people's tales and seeing their perseverance might inspire hope and optimism about the future.  Members of the group may share insights and wisdom garnered from their own experiences, allowing you to see your issue from a fresh perspective and explore new alternatives. Gaining perspective allows you to grow resilience and discover a sense of purpose and direction in the middle of the chaos of divorce.

How to Find a Divorce Support Group Near You

Finding the right divorce support group can provide a sense of community and guidance during a challenging time. Whether you prefer in-person meetings or online communities, several resources can help you connect with a group that meets your emotional and practical needs. Here are some of the best ways to find a divorce support group near you:

  • Searching Online Directories

Online platforms make it easier than ever to find local or virtual support groups tailored to your situation. These online directories have the best and nearest groups to you. Or else, you can also reach out to the local Mental Health Resources.

  • Asking Therapists, Lawyers, or Counselors for Recommendations

Professionals who specialize in divorce-related matters often have connections to local support groups. If you’re seeing a therapist, lawyer, or counselor, ask them if they can recommend a group that aligns with your needs. They may also be aware of therapist-led support groups that provide structured guidance for coping with divorce.

  • Exploring Social Media and Online Platforms

If you prefer the flexibility of an online support group, social media platforms and forums provide a wealth of options. Some popular choices include:

  • Facebook Groups: Searching for divorce support groups on Facebook can lead you to private communities where members share experiences and advice. Some groups focus on co-parenting, emotional healing, or navigating legal aspects of divorce.

  • Reddit Communities: Subreddits like r/Divorce and r/Divorced offer anonymous support and discussions with people going through similar experiences.

What Issues Do People Bring to the Group?

Many people contact the groups because they feel deceived, whether blatantly or subtly. The decision of one spouse to break or dissolve the marriage vows is viewed as a betrayal by the other. A sudden departure, an affair, or a long-held "secret" intensifies the sensation of betrayal. People come because they are uncertain. One no longer loves their partner and may even feel abused, but they are hesitant to leave for fear of being lonely.

One partner wants to date others yet wants to stay married. They both want to stay together, often out of familiarity or fear, yet they live different lives and have fallen into a pit of excruciating silence and unspoken hatred. Many others call because they were abruptly abandoned with no closure. They are emotionally distraught and seek closure, which may not include their previous relationship. There are plenty of ways a group might help with this process. 

Most people tell their specialists that they need a safe, consistent environment in which to discuss their experiences without feeling judged or burdened by others. It's natural to feel that you're wearing down your connections by "burdening" them with your despair and divorce narrative. In actuality, sharing your experience repeatedly is a typical reaction to shock and an attempt to heal from the loss. You need to talk in order to get over the shock and integrate the seemingly unbearable sentiments of pain.

Conclusion

Participating in a divorce support group can give participants a renewed sense of hope. On the difficult route of divorce, you will be surrounded by people who have gone through the same thing and come out stronger and happier. Your divorce support group participants will be open about their issues. Each of you will express your suffering while also feeling optimistic as you witness each other heal and find new meaning in life. Divorce will help you grow by allowing you to give and borrow strength.  If you want to join one, Rebuilders group is offering in-person, online, and private coaching for people like you. Just reach out and start a fresh journey of hope today with us.
