How do you sit with sadness over a marriage that everyone around you thinks you should be relieved to leave? That gap, between what you feel and what people expect you to feel, is where a lot of my clients are stuck. That question sits underneath much of the separation work I do: the permission to feel real loss even when leaving was clearly the right call. Friends want to fast-forward you to freedom. We do the slower, truer thing and let the sadness and the relief exist in the same room, so neither one has to be hidden. I treat this work as something I am still learning to do better every year, which keeps me humble and really interested in the particular shape of your situation. Nothing here comes off a template. If a thoughtful, unhurried hour sounds like what you have been missing, reach out and we can begin.
