The terms “separation” and “divorce” refer specifically to terminating marital relationships opting for periods where partners interdependently decide to live apart before legalizing the ensuing divorce. This legal process can be a harrowing experience marked by an expected susceptibility to heightened emotional responses, such as grief, anger, confusion, fear, and sometimes relief.

Furthermore, navigating various legal and logistical issues, such as division of assets, child custody and the obligatory adjustment to life as a single individual is unavoidable. Separation and Divorce generally has far- reaching effects which impact children (0-18), extended family members and shared social circles. Research shows this exercise may increase the occurrence of specific mental health issues such as anxiety or depression. Therefore, seeking support from therapists who provide safe spaces for reflection while offering practical coping strategies is crucial for individuals looking for healing and recovery.
