Week 1:  The Rebuilding Blocks
You will learn about the proven 19-step process of adjustment to the loss of a love relationship.
 
Week 2:  Adaption/“But It Worked When I Was A Kid”
We all learned to adapt to unmet needs for love and attention and this session offers you a gentle invitation to change unhealthy parts into authentic relationship-enhancing choices and behaviors.
 
Week 3:  Grief/'There Is This Terrible Feeling Of Loss”
This session explores the grief process and the importance of self care.
 
Week 4:  Anger/''Damn the S. O. B.”
You will explore the natural and healthy emotion of anger and learn constructive ways to express both your divorce anger and “everyday” anger.  It is important to work through your angry feeling because they can last for months and perhaps years after the physical separation.
 
Week 5:  Self-Worth/''Maybe I'm Not So Bad After All”
This session explores the importance of self-worth as it relates to every part of your life.  You will learn that it is “okay” to feel good about yourself and gain the strength to successfully adjust to your divorce crisis. 
 
Week 6:  Transition/”I'm Waking Up and Putting Away My Leftovers”
Childhood experiences are extremely influential in your life.  The attitudes, beliefs and feelings you developed in your childhood as a result of your relationships with family, friends and lovers are bound to carry over into your adult relationships.  This session explores which leftovers are valuable and which ones you will need to change.
 
Week 7:  Openness/”I've Been Hiding Behind A Mask”
Masks distance you emotionally from others, keeping you from building intimate relationships. When you remove your masks, you find intimacy rather than emotional pain. 
 
Week 8:  Love/”Could Somebody Really Care For Me?”
The capacity to love others is closely related to your capacity to love yourself.  Learning to love yourself is the most mentally healthy thing you can do.
 
Week 9:  Relatedness/”Growing Relationships Help Me Rebuild”
This session explores the need for support, companionship and feedback that growing relationships provide to help you heal and rebuild. 

Week 10:  Sexuality/”I'm Interested, But I'm Scared”
During the adjustment process, you learn to express your unique sexuality according to your personal moral standards.
Also, Purpose/”I Have Goals For The Future Now”
You will develop your lifeline and plan your short and long-term goals for your future as an independent person, with or without a new love relationship.
