Reason's people generally avoid
divorce recovery...


Divorce is not the sort of thing you can swallow, fix with another relationship,
let time heal it or bury it with mood altering substances. 
Doing no recovery after divorce..always comes back to haunt you!

With the loss of your marriage, your life has gone into process of change...
You have had a life altering emotional and physical experience that needs to be tended to ... 
Recovery WORK needs to take place.
I suggest that you start your recovery now, rather than realize many years later 
that nothing inside of you has changed regarding the feelings to do with the divorce. 
You may find yourself divorced on paper, but you may be still very much attached... hanging on 
with anger, depression, hate, etc.
Nobody wants to remain stuck in those messy, energy
draining emotions, but people do, and sometimes for many years or
for the rest of their lives.

You can begin your healing process today with
Lifeline Recovery Program.
and if you are not ready to let-go right now..at least you will have the immediate information
to understand what is happening to you in the first stages and then later when you are ready
you can start applying the program to your life..

- Many people still do not know
that there are recovery aids available for after the loss of a marriage.
- Others believe that divorce is merely a mosquito bite and that it is no big deal, that in time
they will get over it. The expression, "Time heals all wounds." is what they live by. 
Swallow it, bury it, don't talk about it...The grieving is put aside for another day...
and in that another day it shows up as depression, as anger, as bitterness, as.......

- Others feel ashamed and think they should solve their own problems with only the information they possess inside of them..

- Some have frozen feelings and are not able to feel the pain, therefore they
do not feel the part of themselves that have been wounded and
therefore do not hear their feelings calling for their wounds to be healed to make their lives better. 

- Other's believe life is like in the movies and soap operas, just cure the whole darn hurtin' heart 
by a jump into another lover's bed.

- Other's want to stay in the pain and blame for their own neurotic reasons.

-Other's are experiencing strong feelings of guilt, or shame and it paralyses them from seeking help.

- Other's who initiated the divorce, believe they have dealt with it, so what could there be to recover from?

- Other's go from relationship to relationship as if they were playing Bingo, certain that the
next one will be "THE relationship that finally holds together and wins them their desired happiness."

-The word "work," turns them off.

- Other's have false belief's, such as they should not air their dirty laundry or they should be strong 
enough to solve their own problems.

- Others think they need absolutely no recovery, because after all it was their partner's fault and so they keep their fingers pointed to the other and consequently they never realize that they need to heal their wounds by nurturing themselves with Lifeline After Divorce. 

-In a world of instant cures and instant everything..they believe it also applies to the heart wound.

- Other's who have a low opinion of themselves, those who believe that they are "not enough 
or defective" are fearful they will discover that they are even more inadequate than what they believe about themselves. (This is the main reason people choose to not do recovery work.)

There are many, many reasons that people do not do their recovery work after divorce.

Self esteem is always one of the areas that must be rebuilt after a divorce.
In fact, anyone going through any grief process will have a mushy self esteem. 
When we lack self-esteem, we believe that we are not enough,
that we are flawed, not okay,
and/or feel ashamed. 
So, we automatically react by trying to hide our feelings of inferiority by 
recoiling and putting ourselves down, 
or, 
we will cut other peoples legs off
to make ourselves believe that we are actually higher and bigger,
than how poorly we think of our own self.

When others try to lift us up... give us help and information to stand strong, 
we interpret this as finger pointing to our lacks, 
and we feel even more shamed. 

So, rather than grabbing the tools to empower us, 
our feeling of being not enough and shame, has us into immediate reaction. 

We automatically make the excuses, act grandiose, put others or 
ourselves down, run away, change the subject, make fun of it, enlist 
others of low self esteem, to make fun of it, we go do something maybe similar
but not what our friends suggested would be good for us... 
We secretly think that the person who suggested the something to increase our happiness saw our lacks and our flaws...and 
that makes us very ashamed of our real or imagined lacks.
So our shame quickly wants to cover up and hide our lacks....

We react by rejecting to protect our inner fragile self. 

We reactively make our decisions based strictly upon hiding
from others how lowly we feel about ourselves, rather than
basing our decisions on conscious choices that may have been life enhancing for us.

So, at the very time in our lives when we are in need 
of our guts and backbone . . they have turned to mush! 
And the very medicine we need to rejuvenate 
our mushy backbone and guts with ....  We run from. 
We unconsciously keep our focus upon our lacks, 
rather than applying new tools that would firm-up our self esteem.
.................
When you hear something that makes you uncomfortable,
know that this is exactly what you need to plunge into.
It is the tackling of it that will make you a brave warrior.
It will take your focus off of your lacks.
And your guts and backbone will rise again!

 l would like to have everyone on the planet work this recovery program ... whether they are divorce,
single, separated, widowed or married! 
Everyone deserves to feel good about themselves and to enjoy fulfilling relationships.

There are adult children of divorce and adult children of dysfunctional homes (90% of us) out there 
repeating the cycle or staying in unjust relationships.. when they should be taking themselves out 
of these lop-sided marriages or increasing their internal knowledge and life skills so as to shore up 
and make strong the marriage they desire, which is probably the union they are presently in.

Many people living in adult bodies but are poor in skills and tools or how to go out and attain them  and so they
continue to operate their lives with the skills that worked for them when they were children...but these very skills have turned on them.. They do not work in adult relationships... So unknowingly we end up shooting ourselves in the foot by doing the best we can with what we have...but it just isn't enough to make for solid marriage systems and therefore they break...And we don't even know why.

Lifeline Recovery Program uncovers the areas that are creating self sabotage and always provides skills and tools to increase your happiness in all your present relationships and future romantic relationships.
Project Recovery is similar but it is directed at those in-marriage.

Everyone has a right to enjoy great love relationships.
We have the information folks. We are living in 2008!
 

A marriage relationship is the most difficult of all relationships to maintain on an every day basis.. 
We need all the tools we can get!.
