Are divorce support groups helpful?

Divorce can feel like the ground has been pulled out from beneath you. The loss of a marriage often brings waves of sadness, anger, confusion, and even shame. Many describe it as grieving the death of someone who is still living. In moments like these, healing within a supportive community can make all the difference.

Divorce support groups offer a safe, understanding space where you can share your story, learn from others, and realize that you are not alone. Hearing from people who truly understand the pain of divorce helps ease isolation and restores hope. Support groups can also help you develop healthier coping tools for managing anxiety, depression, guilt, and anger—emotions that often accompany such a major life change.

At Bell Family Therapy, we believe healing after divorce is not a one-size-fits-all journey. Some people find that participating in a support group gives them the strength and clarity they need to move forward. Others discover that they need more focused, one-on-one support to work through the deeper emotional wounds and patterns that led to their pain. That’s why we offer both individual divorce therapy and divorce support groups for women across Texas.

The process of grieving after a divorce rarely happens in a straight line. You may move through denial, anger, bargaining, sadness, and acceptance in no particular order. Healing takes time and patience, but you will get to the other side of this.

If you’re ready to start your healing journey, join our upcoming Women’s Divorce Support Group and connect with others who understand. Or, if you’re looking for more personal guidance, schedule a free consultation for individual therapy today.
