Clinical psychologist offering therapeutic services for life, love, marriage & divorce

My Theory of Ever-Aftershock®

 

Get control of where you are and reclaim your life right now!

You know that period of time when you don’t know what’s going to happen with your life?

You aren’t sure if you’ll stay married or if you’ll end up divorced?

I think if you’re here on this page you probably know it REALLY WELL!

I’m not sure why, but there doesn’t seem to be much out there that speak to this crazy, surreal time of life when the life you thought you had  and would have is completely turned upside down.

Well now there is because I call it Ever-Aftershock®.

I coined the term Ever-Aftershock® to explain the psychological, emotional, and physiological response to an unexpected marital ending, and the disillusionment that comes with shattered dreams and unclaimed future fantasies. 

If you’re in Ever-Aftershock® you are thinking:

  • I’m going crazy.
  • This is surreal.
  • I’m in shock.
  • I can’t believe this is happening.
  • I didn’t see this coming.
  • I’m afraid I will end up alone and destitute.

 

Even the most well-adjusted and high-functioning individuals will spend 2-5 years or longer reestablishing emotional stability after the marriage ends.

Through clinical observation researchers have learned that people describe the “aftermath” phase in the first year following separation or divorce as being “as devastating as any natural disaster”.

They report feeling as though an earthquake or hurricane has struck and few are able to articulate their experience during this period, amid the shock and confusion. I have observed this phenomenon in my practice and I can attest to it from personal experience as well.

This is what I have come to call Ever-Aftershock®.

But don’t worry because I’ve got you covered!
