Understanding Children's Unique Experiences in Divorce

Children's experiences of divorce can vary significantly, with some feeling relief while others may feel confusion and pain. It's crucial to recognize that not all children perceive divorce the same way, and their perspectives can be influenced by the dynamics of their parents' relationship. As therapists, maintaining open-ended curiosity and allowing children to express their feelings is essential, instead of making assumptions about their emotional states. This individualized approach helps therapists better support children's processing of their experiences during these transitions.
