Even when the divorce process is over, the parenting process continues.
And hot take? Parenting doesn’t exactly end at 18 either. And the parenting process? Well… it feels like there can be 1,000 different decisions to make at any given moment. Forms to return to school, baseball games to put on the schedule, and the leotard that was left in the change room that you need to double back for. Don’t even ask what’s for dinner.

Working With Divorce in Play Therapy: From High Conflict Divorce To High Conflict Co Parenting4/16/2025 
When thinking about divorce and separation sometimes it feels like there needs to be a dictionary of terms.
And definition and terms? They are essential for understanding and making sense of all of the complex concepts that come with working with divorced and separated family systems, which allows you to increase your ability to support the kids, teens, and families that come into your playroom. 
One of the major tasks of play therapy is assessing the family system.
What is the level of attachment? The quality of the parent child relationship? What are the sources of strength and resilience? Areas of difficulty? Opportunities for skills and growth? And in divorced or separated family systems this assessment is much more complex. 
Divorce can be prickly.
Choosing to end a marriage can be one of the most difficult choices a family can make...even if it was the absolute right choice in the end. And for a family with kids, divorce is monumental. For kids, life as they know it is over. It wasn’t their choice or their fault, but they are caught in the middle of very adult decisions. |
