Thriving After Divorce: Transforming Your Life When a Relationship Ends

By Tonja Evetts Weimer

Book Overview

Author and relationship coach Tonja Evetts Weimer offers readers a grounded approach to growing through the difficult life transitions that arise from the breaking of our most defining partnerships.

The end of a significant relationship initiates painful and powerful change in one's life, daily habits, and even in one's personal identity. Tonja Evetts Weimer's book will guide readers through a potentially tumultuous time to a safe place by showing how to put one's actions in alignment with one's needs and values for positive outcomes that will strengthen and prepare the heart for a new path.

The key is in learning how to create an authentic new life, and therefore, a different relationship with the partner in the absence of shared romantic love. This relationship allows the possibility of any continuing combined goals, while building and sustaining necessary boundaries and guidelines for new interactions.

Weimer shows readers how to deal with shared responsibilities involving children, mutual business interests, the care of family members, and other situations that require both parties to work together in the new space of the relationship.

Thriving After Divorce speaks to anyone who has gone through a breakup, providing hope, alternatives, empowerment, and inspiration to find a new way to relate to former situations and relationships that, in the past, could have been fractious.

Remarkable writing!

This is a very powerful book that will shift your thinking. It is not like other Divorce books, which focus on recovery. This is about Thriving. It is to help you catapult to a better place. Tonja Weimer's writing is remarkable. Her approaches work. The read is easy yet the approach is provocative. Enjoy!

An amazing, hopeful, empowering read!!

'Thriving After Divorce' is an amazing read, not just for those going through divorce, but for anyone who's ever been or will be in a relationship. We all go through 'loss'(ie, the end of a relationship) & Tonja presents a hopeful, uplifting & empowering model, by which to handle a traditionally painful experience. A terrific model to live by in any stage of life! A must read!

A great book to transform your life after divorce

If you can't be coached by Tonja, this is a great way to move forward. A highly recommended book. Tonja's clients were guided by her to use a painful period of their life as a catalyst to grow. This easy to read and clear book is both entertaining and inspiring. Using examples and stories about her clients, Tonja shows how our unconscious view of relationships, creates a "take" on life that is the cause of much of our unhappiness. How working with Tonja's "TAO of divorce" tools, we can change our "take" and create a life of happiness and the likelihood of a wonderful new love relationship. Though having Tonja coaching personally would be ideal, this book is making a difference in many lives and bringing surprisingly fast results. I can now see how my old Take, made me Act the way I did, and produced my past Outcomes. Using Tonja's TAO checklists to see what we do and how we can change ourselves is life altering. It is amazing that the same techniques that work for a love relationship help sort out problems with a boss. A wise and wonderful book. Highly recommended.
