REBUILDING SESSION TEN: Trust and Relatedness

Rebuilding: When Your Relationship Ends is a straight-to-the-heart 12-week program to give you the tools and encouragement to get through this challenging time and move on with your life in positive ways.

TRUST: People who have a painful love-wound will emotionally distance others until the love-wound is healed. Divorce adjustment requires one to learn to be a single person followed by learning to love again. The focus should be on developing friendships rather than love-relationships.

RELATEDNESS: Most marriages that end in divorce were out-of-balance in terms of responsibility. Relationships where responsibility is not equal lack the flexibility necessary to respond to stress and change. Over-responsible (controlling) persons may collapse when their relationships end.
