Session 1: Take Charge
The choice is yours, you don’t have to settle with living in the past or being one of the walking wounded. With God’s help you can become proactive about healing and you can thrive. Jump start your journey as Renee introduces the workshop, encourages you with hope, and shares 7 foundations for healing.
You want to heal from divorce but where do you start? You may be surprised. Find out how you can avoid problems and set yourself up for success by learning to make solid prayerful decisions about the changes in your life.
How do you stop the pain and untie the emotional knot? As tempting as it may be, brushing emotions away doesn’t lead to peace. In this session, Renee discusses the emotional divorce and outlines 6 foundations for breaking emotional ties.
You know that fear, guilt, regrets, rejection, loss, grief, and a wounded sense of self-worth can all be a part of the fallout of divorce. But how do you process all of this? Join Renee as she shares insights and spiritual tools that support healing in these areas.
Hurt, anger and harsh feelings toward your former spouse may be justified. But, living your life in bitterness will deepen a victim mindset and steal your joy. In this life-changing session, Renee clarifies the concept of forgiveness and shares how forgiving frees you to focus on your own healing.
Learn how taking control of your thoughts can reduce your emotional vulnerability and increase your sense of peace. Renee shares powerful tools you can use again and again to replace unhealthy thoughts with thoughts that move you to a more joyful and peaceful life.
Dealing with your ex or soon-to-be-ex is stressful, in part because divorce redefines your relationship. Learn how knowing your rights and responsibilities can help you set healthy boundaries. Renee also outlines five guidelines for communicating with your ex and shows how they are rooted in the Word of God.
God didn’t create you just to exist. This session talks about moving forward with a focus on developing your own goals and dreams as well as how not to carry old wounds into new relationships. God does have a plan for your life; you can “go out in joy and be led forth in peace.”
How can you help your children thrive despite the realities of divorce? Renee highlights practical steps you can take to build their sense of security and help your children cope with divorce.
