Separation and divorce are often devastating and traumatic and the depth of emotional suffering not always understood.
That’s the view of the Berkshire branch of UK charity, Divorce Recovery Workshop (DRW) which is running a course in Reading on Saturdays March 18 and 25.
A spokesperson said DRW is for anyone of any background, at any stage of a separation or a divorce. It helps people come to terms with a relationship that is breaking or has broken down.
Participants give consistently positive feedback including: “This workshop has been enlightening and inspiring.
“I thoroughly enjoyed it and learned a lot in a comfortable environment. It helped me to realise that other people go through the same feelings and emotions.
“It also enabled me to express my feelings freely and to be myself.”
The course is run by the charity’s volunteers who have all experienced a significant relationship breakup and have been on a course themselves.
Course details: Saturday, March 18, 9.30am-4.30pm, sessions one-three. Saturday, March 25, 9.30-4.30pm sessions four-six. The £60 charge covers attendance, lunches and other refreshments.
