Watch how these 10 individuals transformed their lives in just 10 weeks through our proven recovery program.
You wake up with that hollow feeling in your chest again...
Another day of trying to piece together what your life looks like now.
Overwhelming emotions that hit you when you least expect them
Anxiety about your financial future and starting over
Loneliness that doesn't seem to go away, even when you're with others
Figuring out co-parenting without letting your emotions take over
The nagging feeling that you might be stuck in this pain forever
Most divorce recovery resources either rush you through your grief or keep you wallowing in it.
Neither approach works.
The truth is:
You don't need more time to heal. You need the right process.
"I thought I was the only one feeling completely lost. Seeing others in the program going through the same emotions made me feel less alone for the first time since my separation."
What began as a small support group in 1983 has evolved into a comprehensive, research-backed system that addresses every aspect of divorce recovery—emotional, practical, and relational.
Our team of certified divorce recovery specialists, therapists, and financial advisors have combined decades of experience helping people just like you not just recover, but thrive after divorce.
Understand what’s really happening in your brain after a breakup or divorce.
Learn simple tools to quiet intrusive thoughts and late-night overthinking
Start to shift from “What’s wrong with me?” to “Of course I feel this way — and here’s what I can do”
"I finally understood I wasn’t crazy or broken — my brain was doing exactly what brains do under stress. That alone was a huge relief."
~James, 52
Once your thoughts are more grounded, we help you move through the heavy emotions instead of getting stuck in them.
Guided exercises for grief, anger, guilt, shame, and fear
Learn how to feel your emotions without being overwhelmed by them
Stop the cycle of stuffing things down and then exploding
"I’d avoided my grief for years. The tools we used in class helped me finally cry, rage, and release — without falling apart."
~Lisa, 39
After a long relationship, it’s easy to lose sight of yourself. This phase is about finding you again.
Explore the “masks” and coping patterns you learned to survive.
Rebuild self-worth and confidence after betrayal, criticism, or rejection
Clarify your values, boundaries, and what a good life looks like now
"I walked in feeling like a shell of myself. By week eight, I had a clearer sense of who I am than I did before my marriage."
~ Marcus, 41:
Only after you’ve done the inner work do we look toward future relationships.
Learn clear, kind communication tools (with exes, kids, family, and future partners)
Understand patterns like people-pleasing, conflict avoidance, or chasing unavailable partners
Begin designing what healthy love and connection will look like for you going forward
"I stopped repeating the same relationship patterns. I know what I want now — and what I will never put up with again."
~ Daniel, 38
The following is an example of what people get in just the first week of the class. In the following video we have removed the first 30 minutes where students have introduced themselves and they have talked about logistics in the class. Here you will get to listen in on the first part of the learning something new. Then we also share what they say about 1 hour later as the first class is wrapping up. Their identities have been blurred for their privacy.
Our program has evolved through decades of participant feedback and emerging research in psychology and neuroscience. What started as a peer support group has been refined into a comprehensive system that addresses the full spectrum of divorce recovery.

"I compared several programs before choosing this one. The 40-year track record and comprehensive approach convinced me. It wasn't just emotional support—the financial guidance alone saved me from making costly mistakes during my divorce settlement."
~ Robert, 43
If, after completing the program you don’t feel more hopeful about your future you have 2 options:

We’re so confident in this program because we’ve seen it work for 100,000+ people over 40 years—people in exactly your situation.
"I was skeptical that any program could help with the mess I was in. I even had my finger on the refund button after week two. But by week four, I started sleeping through the night again. By the end, I had a whole new outlook on life. Best money I've ever spent."
~ Diane, 50

Real Stories, Real Healing – Hear from people who have walked your path and transformed their lives.
82% report improved relationships with their children 76% report better financial stability within 6 months.
89% would recommend the program to others going through divorce
"I've been referring clients to this program for over 15 years. What sets it apart is how it addresses the whole person—not just emotional healing, but practical life rebuilding. The 40-year evolution of the methodology shows in the results: people don't just recover, they often create lives better than before their divorce."
~ Dr. Thomas Reid, Psychologist
Therapy can be very helpful, and many of our participants work with a therapist and take this workshop.
The Rebuilders Workshop is:
Structured: you move through a proven 10-week roadmap instead of open-ended sessions
Community-based: you heal alongside others who are dealing with the same kinds of losses
Practical: every week you get concrete tools, exercises, and homework you can apply immediately
We’re not here to diagnose or treat mental health conditions. We’re here to give you a clear process and a safe community so you don’t have to figure this out alone.
Not at all. Many people join while they’re still separated or in the middle of legal proceedings.
In fact, starting now can help you:
Make clearer decisions instead of reacting from panic or pain
Communicate more effectively with your ex, attorney, and kids
Avoid patterns you might regret later
If you’re breathing and hurting, it’s not “too early.”
Bruce Fisher originally developed the 19 Step model for "Climbing the Mountain". Over time we saw that this is overly complicated. We have simplified the process into 4 very simple stages that people work through in their divorce recovery process. We call this the RIFT Recovery Process as it more accurately explains peoples progress through the 10-week program.
While the live group calls provide valuable support, all sessions are recorded for those who can't attend in real-time. The program is designed to fit into busy schedules with access to the recordings
Most people spend about 3–4 hours per week, including:
2 hours for the live workshop session
Optional 60–90 minutes for the weekly support group and/or homework
It’s a commitment — but one that can change the entire trajectory of your next chapter.
Yes. Some participants are happy with just the group experience. Others want extra help.
You’ll have the option to:
Book individual coaching sessions with a Rebuilders-trained coach
Get specific support around co-parenting, boundaries, dating, or other sensitive topics
We’ll walk through these options in the workshop so you can choose what fits you best.

—it's about creating a life that's even better than before. Join the 100,000+ people who have transformed their lives through our proven methodology.

"Three years after completing this program, I can honestly say my life is better than it ever was in my 25-year marriage. I'm independent, emotionally healthy, and actually grateful for the journey.
