Sovereign Shift, A Divorce Process Therapy Group
Divorce is not just a legal event; it is a profound identity shift that can leave you feeling untethered, exhausted, and overwhelmed. If you are tired of polite small talk and want a raw, real space to process the grief, anger, and uncertainty of this transition, you belong here.
This 8-week structured, in person, closed therapy group offers a powerful container to heal alongside others who truly understand the unique weight of uncoupling. Melding dynamic Gestalt work with trauma-informed support, we will move beyond surface-level venting. Together, we will untangle codependency, process the emotional fallout, and actively rebuild your life from the ground up. You do not have to reinvent your future alone—this is your space to catch your breath, reclaim your narrative, and step into your next chapter with clarity and wild authenticity.
What We Focus On Over 8 Weeks
Co-create a safe container
Monday, September
14th & 21st
7-8:30pm
Sovereign Shift is closed group which means, there are only 8 spots available and the same core group will be together for the entire 8 week process. A closed group brings the safety, authenticity, and connection needed to dig deep into our emotional processes together. In these two weeks, we will be getting to know one another, the contexts in which we exist, so we can more deeply bond over the next 6 weeks.
In this time we will also establish confidentiality and group norms to bolster the safety of the group.
Self- Reflection &
Paradoxical Theory of Change
Monday, October
5th & 19th
7-8:30pm
Before we can access our emotions, we need to self-reflect. Where are we in our lives right now, at this very moment? Who are we? Who are we without our partnership? What meaning are we making about ourselves? What are our biggest fears and hopes? Where do the biggest aches live in our bodies? What do we need out of this season of our life? How are we seeing ourselves and how are we projecting our own emotions onto others?
In this time we will reflect on our Selves and have access to support in the reflection of our peers. Sometimes how we experience ourselves isn’t at all how others experience us. This can set us free.
Accepting who and where we are right now is the medicine needed to make the sovereign shift in our lives.
Emotional Process
Monday, November
2nd & 16th
7-8:30pm
After creating a safe space, self-reflecting and accepting all the good bad and ugly in our lives, we unfurl. This is the real magic of the group. This is when we truly process the emotions, the anger, the grief, the fear, the hope, and joy, together.
This work is somatic, trauma-informed, and supportive within the context of the group. Members will be asked to sit in the liminal spaces of uncertainty in each others lives, together. There will be tears, wailing, yelling, maybe even laughing. My hope is that in the confusion and fog of change, we find a hand to hold to guide us through, within the spirit of the group.
Plant seeds for the future
Monday, December
7th & 14th
7-8:30pm
After we excavate our emotions, we have fertile ground within us emotionally. This is perfect for planting seeds.
Members will be tasked with imagining the ultimate dream for themselves: Who do they want to be? Where do they want to be? What do they want to do differently? How can they make it happen?
In this portion of the group, we set intentions and manifest, if you will, the creature you will be when your cocoon cracks open. You get to take up space now. The world is your oyster.
After this work, we will close the group with gratitude for one another’s compassion, validation, and vulnerability.
Samantha Maginn, LPC
When I went through my separation and divorce in 2023-2024, I was struck by the lack of support groups, so I made a ritual of my grief whenever I could. By “ritualizing” or truly “sitting with” my emotions, I was able to see the seeds of my new life. My tears made the ground fertile and led me to a self-actualization I had never before experienced. I am so excited to hold the space for you to do your own version of this, within a community so you don’t have to do it alone.
