Parties deciding to or undergoing divorce and separation feel a great sense of fear compelling them to prolong the decision or process to separate. The following tips for combatting fear may help parties face uncertainty with confidence and plan better for what lies ahead:
1. Writting down the things that one is fearful about in a journal, on a laptop, or a smart phone. Writting down things that induce fear makes them appear manageable and finite.
2. Accepting one’s fears in a non-judgmental manner and acknowledging how they may affect different aspects of life.
3. After a list of all the fears is made, write down a solution.
Doing this can help one start taking action rather than being absorbed in fear and stress. It can help diminish stress so one can think clearly, move on, and get back to being happy.
