How many people in each class? We cap each class to 10 people or less in each program. It gives each person a chance to get know each other and have enough coaching interaction with me.
What happens if I miss a class, can I make it up? The classes are recorded so you can stay caught up.
Can we get to know others in the class? Yes, we encourage outside activities with your peers. Divorce is very isolating and we know it is healthy to get out with others. However, we strictly forbid dating your peers. We want you to spend time on yourself, not moving to the next relationship.

40+ Years of Rebuilding
Proven tools and information so that you can move forward
Dr. Bruce Fisher
The founder of the Rebuilding program, more than 40 years ago. We use the Rebuilding textbook and the accompanying workbook (by Will Limon) to guide you in this amazing journey. Each week you will get reading assignments and exercises to do to help you process the loss of your relationship.
Rebuilders Workshop Curriculum
The Rebuilding Workshop is the evolution of a 40-year old program. It supports you as you work your way through the recovery process. In 10 Weeks you will work with others and, together, recover from the most difficult situation you have likely had in your life. You will learn and grow in a confidential, safe, non-dating environment. You will Let Go of the past and find the new you. The classes foster a long-lasting, active social network of trusted friends.
Your facilitator will walk with you as you embark this journey in building a wonderful life. You will learn in each class, get some homework, talk with your peers and have healthy, interactive discussions as you begin to venture through this amazing program.
Week 1 - Mindset & Beliefs
Perhaps you’ll begin this first night feeling, awkward, alone and scared. These are absolutely normal feelings and you won’t be alone. In a comforting, safe and confidential space, you’ll begin the Rebuilding process by beginning with understanding your hidden belief system that has unconsciously guided you down a path that is painful. In this first class you will begin to see how your fundamental mindset can change AND understand how it impacted your Ex and your relationship. During the class, you’ll meet the other participants, volunteers, and leaders that will share this journey with you. You’ll begin to relax, make new acquaintances and see a glimmer of hope for a healthy and satisfying life as a single person.
Week 2 - Adaptation: Changing Relationship Patterns
Tonight, you’ll receive the results of the Fisher Divorce Adjustment Scale. You’ll see a profile of yourself detailing several aspects of your life such as emotional disentanglement from your former love partner and your openness to social intimacy. The results are precisely presented and depict the areas that need the most work. And you might be pleasantly surprised at some of the strengths you’ve already developed. Then, the class switches gears and focuses on the healthy and unhealthy adaptive behaviors that have helped you survive life so far. You’ll get to know yourself and others in the class and have the opportunity to talk openly in small groups. You’ll begin to build a network of support with classmates and others in your life.
Week 3 - Cleansing Through Grief
Sometimes considered to be one of the most difficult yet freeing sessions, this important class teaches you to understand grief and YOUR grieving process. You’ll learn to recognize and understand the symptoms of grieving and the importance of self-care. Then you will dopowerful exercises designed to help you Let Go of your past relationship.
Week 4 - Anger: Releasing Your Anger About the Past
In this session, you will explore anger and understand the SOURCE of your anger and how to release it. You’ll learn to USE anger in a healthy, respectful way to as you work lingering relationship issues. Discover new skills to cope with anger and how to reduce the harmful anger in your life. Finally, positive ways to express anger will be discussed.
Week 5 - Openness
We protect ourselves from the world in order to "get through it". In this class you will learn how to reveal to yourself, and others, the true you. Building on the first 4 weeks, you will expand your sense of self and begin to "open" to a new possibility. You will see how the protections you created have prevented you from being the person that you have wanted to be. By uncovering these false thoughts you find freedom and growth.
Week 6 - Self Esteem
Inside all of us is an "Inner Judge and Critic". It is the voice inside our heads that beats us down. Divorce amplifies this voice. In this class you will learn how to shift the conversation inside of you. You will learn to see yourself in a new way that breathes new life into the very person that you need most in life - yourself. This class is powerful in that you will learn tools and information that you will use everyday, for the rest of your life.
Week 7 - Love
So many people "lose themselves" in their relationship. They give everything with the hope for receiving the same. In this class you will learn how to love yourself first and then you can effectively give what you have for yourself. This is also a powerful week because participants begin to see how the previous weeks culminate in creating a powerful sense of self and incorporating this new "you" into loving ourselves. Finally, you’ll explore various definitions of love and perhaps gain a fresh perspective on love itself.
Week 8 - Communication
As you turn the corner from looking inward we begin to explore the view around us. It begins with communication. Communication is easy when things are going well. Healthy relationships are built on healthy communication. It is a skill that must be learned so we spend time learning how to use breakdowns as breakthroughs.
Week 9 - Friendships, Intimacy, Trust
As you turn your attention to new friendships and potentially intimate relationships in the future you will begin to explore the foundations of healthy relationships. What IS true intimacy? It is not physical - there is much more to it. So you will again incorporate all of the previous classes into expanding your understanding of intimacy both in non-romantic friendships and romantic relationships when you are ready. Trust is also explored as it is often misunderstood and misused.
Week 10 - Purpose
You have grown immeasurably in these last 9 weeks. Now it is time to move forward. There is excitement and strength. What will you do with this new opportunity for your life? You have built amazing friendships and connections with people in your class. You will reflect on your growth and design a future that has a purpose and meaning.
NOTE: The above schedule is an example of the Rebuilding Workshop curriculum. Your facilitator may adapt the curriculum based on their training, experience, and the needs of participants in the class.
The 3 Pillars of Divorce in Texas
When dealing with divorce there are three major areas that need to be addressed. There is the legal issues, the financial issues, and the emotional issues. Rebuilders focuses on the soft issues like anger, grief, obsessive thinking, and more. These are the EMOTIONAL issues. However, we know that you may be seeking additional information about the other two pillars.
So here are some resources that you can use to look up information in your state on how divorce works in your state. We do not endorse any particular resource, nor are they in any particular order.
