Therapist-Written Divorce Coping Workbook | Finding Your Footing During and After Divorce PDF (Digital Download)

Divorce can change the ordinary parts of life: the quiet at home, your weekends, the people you lean on, and the decisions waiting for you. Finding Your Footing During and After Divorce offers a supportive place to understand what you are carrying and choose one manageable next step.

You may feel grief, relief, anger, uncertainty, or several feelings at once. You can begin with the part of life that needs support today and return as your needs change.

Created by Caroline Aaron, MSW, LICSW, this therapist-written, 45-page workbook combines clear teaching, fictional worked examples, and guided practice for adults during separation or divorce and those adjusting afterward. Parenting pages are optional.

Inside the workbook:

* Two suggested starting paths: going through divorce and adjusting afterward
* What Needs Support Right Now?: an original 12-item, non-diagnostic quiz with four support areas, scoring, interpretation, and suggested next steps
* Grounding, CBT thought reframing, and DBT-informed pause and acceptance skills
* Examples for checking an ex’s social media, hearing they are dating, the first night in a new home, and receiving final paperwork
* The One Next Step Plan for practical overload, plus boundaries and brief communication scripts
* Support for loneliness, routines, identity, self-trust, holidays, anniversaries, and other difficult firsts
* Optional parenting pages, sixteen realistic affirmations, a one-minute hard-day tool, a seven-day practice plan, and My Steady Ground Plan

You receive three PDF files:

* Full-color printable workbook: 45 pages
* Low-ink black-and-white printable workbook: the same 45 pages
* Color fillable workbook: the same 45 pages, with typing fields and selectable quiz answers

All files are US Letter, 8.5 x 11 inches, with linked navigation and bookmarks. These are three formats of one workbook, not three different workbooks. Quiz scores are added by you; they are not calculated automatically.

Download the files after purchase. Print all or selected pages at actual size. For typing, open the fillable file in a PDF reader that supports forms. Save, close, and reopen a test entry before continuing. Keep answers brief so they remain visible. Use one page at a time or bring your reflections to therapy.
