Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
With divorce comes a lot of adjustment and a lot of change. It can also be an opportunity for tremendous growth. I help individuals process the loss, adjust to a new life, and deal with change. But more importantly, I help individuals explore opportunities for growth. I help them re-evaluate their values and their goals so they can intentionally live life on their own path, one that makes sense to them.

HUGH R STEWART III
Hypnotherapist, Ph.D., ACHt.
I have been divorced. I was married for four years and tried to fit in with my family and friends. Divorce is an ongoing grieving process for a while. First when thinking of divorce or in marital counseling, we may be angry and blaming our spouse for certain things. Then there may be a separation where we get to feel other feelings. Until the divorce is complete through the courts we are still attached and unavailable. We may have guilt about not following through on our marriage vows. We may be upset because we knew it wouldn't work from the beginning. We may also not know who we are as we defined ourselves through the marriage and what we did together. And frequently feelings of failure surface. Divorce is a transition. Many of us just cannot live together. My opinion is that it too easy to get married and too difficult to get divorced because of money, friends, family, etc. It usually takes a good year to a year in a half living together before we know if this is the person for me as a life partner. The chemicals of oxytocin in our bodies get released when we are dating somebody new. This feeling brings us together in what we call love. However, real lasting Love takes longer to cultivate and it takes 1-1 1/2 years for the oxytocin to wear off so we can see our partners for who they really are. In short, oxytocin and sex make us stupid to jump into committed relationships before both parties are ready.
