How to work through anger during your divorce

On Behalf of | Jan 25, 2022 | Divorce

The divorce process can generate many intense emotions, one of them being anger. If you are a Florida resident facing the end of your marriage, you might want some advice on how to deal with anger.

Understand that anger is natural emotion

While you might think suppressing anger is the best thing you can do, anger is a natural emotion and part of the grieving and healing process after the end of the marriage. Once you accept that you have the right to be angry and to experience the full emotion, you can begin working through it and healing. If you try to suppress your anger, you might find yourself exploding with it at the most inopportune moments. However, when you accept the anger, you can better control when you can give in to the experience.

Reach out for support

You might think that you need to hide your emotions during the divorce but reaching out to friends and family members who are there to support you can help you deal with your anger. If you have a supportive group of people around you, who you can trust to listen to you when you need to vent about your ex-spouse and the situation, you should reach out to them for support.

Use the tools available to you

There are other tools you can use to deal with anger. This includes:

  • Physical exercise, such as walking, running or any other activity that you enjoy
  • Writing down your feelings in your journal
  • Seeking professional help with a therapist
  • Joining a divorce support group

Working your anger during divorce will also help to reach a place of acceptance and forgiveness. Once you reach that place, you are also ready to move forward with your life.
