REBUILDING SESSION ONE: Orientation/Denial

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. The book, Rebuilding: When Your Relationship Ends, Bruce Fisher Ed. D, is designed to help people rebuild their lives after a separation or divorce. The process of rebuilding is compared to climbing a mountain by passing through specific stages beginning with denial.   Denial is considered a Protective Mechanism. Ending a love-relationship may be the greatest emotional pain a person will ever experience. The pain is so great, in fact, you may react with denial or disbelief. You feel as though you have failed, as though you have been hit in the stomach and experienced death even though you are still living.
