Collaborative divorce is interdisciplinary: lawyers, mental health professionals and financial experts work together.
Divorce coaches are mental health professionals that are often included on the collaborative team. Instead of providing in-depth therapy, they enhance communication and help resolve disputes by using their active listening skills. Their skills help reduce conflict and stress. The verse below explains the role of divorce coaches in collaborative divorces:
To help us all communicate, coaches are brought in
Coaches also help us handle emotional whirlwinds
They are the best of peacemakers who give this wise advice:
Get your needs met in a settlement
At trial you roll the dice.
