How to Cope With Losing Custody of Your Child

Losing Custody – Hypnosis can help you deal with anger and pain so you can do your best for your child

Have you been involved in a legal dispute with a partner or spouse which has resulted in you losing custody of your child or children?

Do you find yourself overwhelmed with anger, pain and loss, and unsure how to cope?

Family courts have to make difficult decisions, and their guiding principle is to put the well-being of children first. When couples break up, deciding who should have custody of children may become a matter of legal dispute rather than consensual negotiation.

Whatever decision is reached by the court, the parent who is suddenly barred from the lives of their children goes through a very painful experience.

The emotional cost of losing custody

Whatever the rights and wrongs of the situation, the emotional cost is high. Overwhelming feelings of pain, anger, loss and despair can swamp your life, making it hard to see straight or even to manage the business of ordinary day to day life.

These feelings can drive you to acts of desperation which may be counterproductive and actually make things worse. But it's not a time when you can easily be receptive to advice to ‘calm down'.

In fact, in the aftermath of such a decision, it would be rather unusual for any parent to feel ‘calm'. You may be experiencing the most powerful emotions of your life, and you have no idea how long this will go on for.

Yet somehow you must get through it. You must make sensible decisions about the future. You must manage your contact time with your children so that they experience as little negative impact as possible.

Managing emotions after losing custody

Rather than trying by willpower to ‘calm down', or trying to act as if you don't feel as you do, a more effective route through the maelstrom may be through compartmentalizing the custody situation. This doesn't call for any suppression or denial of feelings, but a kind of ‘time management' of emotion that acknowledges the validity of your feelings and gives them a clear, and clearly delimited, place in your life.

At first sight this may seem just as hard to do as calming down – but there is a way.

Hypnosis is a powerful way to cope with emotional overload
