Absence of divorce trauma leaves you with a positive outlook on love
As you may very well know, going through a difficult divorce can be psychologically traumatic because the individual could feel shocked and powerless to the event. Leaving you with feelings of confusion, pain, and deep, emotional scarring. Since mediation allows you to maintain control of the process there are no surprises and you apart of the decision making every step of the way. When the process doesn’t leave individuals with with a negative view of love and relationships, people are naturally going to be more open to accepting love, and welcoming someone new into their lives. It may even create a sense of a fresh start, leaving individuals eager to get back into the dating pool.
A quick divorce allows you to quickly start the process of healing and self-love
Since mediation does not take as long litigation by removing several court appearances and other time consuming factors, you are able to quickly get through the separation process. As a result, this allows you start your post-divorce healing journey quicker. While this does looks different for each individual, this is an important step that allows for a true experience of self-love and acceptance.
Using mediation removes the chance of any lingering baggage
The biggest benefit of using mediation is that you get to keep control of the situation and when deciding how property is divided, how child custody and visitation is set up, how spousal and child support is appointed, and everything in between! This means that not asset or valuable gets skipped and left to determine at a later time. When everything is settled, you are not left with any lingering baggage or additional issues to sort out post divorce. This allows you to have a clean slate and have more confidence when you do decide to start dating after divorce.
