This presentation focuses on what you can do and habits you can build that will help your divorcing clients recover their calm mind and best decision-making ability. Knowing what the scientist know is not as helpful as knowing what to do when you are in a meeting with a client frozen in place or worse, about to make a life-altering decision just to get the whole thing over with. There are things you can do to slow the process down, enhance understanding and switch from short-term thinking to longer-term comprehension. During this session, we will discuss:

Creating a framework of understanding of the stages of divorce and the life transitions they create
Use of structured conversations to focus on the best possible outcomes
Use of three questions to manage expectations
