Divorce Recovery Group for Women

Moving on after divorce. Starting over.

There are requirements …

•  Understanding what healing looks like: discovering what to shed and what to choose now

•  The Pause. Getting comfortable with the discomfort as we embrace this Pause and use it for clarity and direction

•  Recognizing we are comprised of many parts and that these parts, having survived the divorce crisis, now need our full attention to heal and to adapt

•  Appreciating that there is still work to do — a conscious un-blending of who we once believed we were and who we want to be, who we truly are. This process is our most precious opportunity

This is not your typical divorce recovery group for women

Paloma’s Group is founded on the Art of Reinvention.

The ability to decide, design, and direct one’s energy toward the creation of your best, most aware, most self-directed life. What this means is that … 

For those women who initiated their divorce, Paloma’s Group is a safe place to explore independence while putting into place best practices for stability and growth.

For those women recovering from an unwanted divorce, understanding their grief and the long list of loss and losses is a process that must come first. To Paloma’s Group, these women bring a willingness to explore who they are, what role they played before, and who they want to be now.

For many, Paloma’s Group is THE structure they use to holistically rebuild their life after divorce.

For all, Paloma’s Group is the university that cultivates the skills, the know how, the confidence to move through the “practical” requirements necessary for crafting and embodying an independent life. A life on — and of — one’s own.

One of the ways women cope with crisis is by connecting with other women.

So, it makes sense that when we ask women what they want most when rebuilding their lives after divorce, it’s to find other women. They are searching for community. They want someone to listen. And they want someone to learn from.

They want a place where there’s instant connection because of the story they’ve all been through.

This is the foundation of Paloma’s Group.

Through live, interactive lessons with visuals, sharing, and small group discussions we will meet virtually once a month for seven months until December 2020. In between classes, you’ll take steps suggested in the homework and benefit from regular Sister Partner conversations using scripts as a launching pad for deeper discussion, support and accountability.

Paloma’s GroupTm is created and facilitated by SAS for Women Cofounder, Liza Caldwell, an educator and professional divorce coach.

Both the divorce recovery group for women, Paloma’s GroupTM and the divorce group for women, Annie’s GroupTM are based on Caldwell’s personal experiences, her professional work with divorce clients since 2012, and the four common functions of successful social support models: emotional, informational, instrumental, and affiliational. (Cobb, 1976; Salzer, 2002)

• Emotional: our groups explore feelings and support the understanding of their messaging. Women also benefit from the caring and empathy shared in their live interactions with group members.
• Informational: the sharing of black & white information, facts and knowledge are critical to advancing participants planning and movement in pursuit of goals.
• Instrumental: the action steps discovered through coaching exercises and homework requests provide real life application or training,
• Affiliational: our divorce & divorce recovery groups for women provide contact with experts to further specialized problem-solving with particular challenges. And within our groups, a community is cultivated with a shared sense of belonging and mutual support.
