  • Fear of abandonment,
  • Feelings of worthlessness and inadequacy,
  • Resentments from past relationships,
  • Incorrect marriage patterns learned from parents,
  • Control and jealousy,
  • Anger and defensiveness,
  • Silence and emotional detachment,
  • Unforgivable events,
  • pressure from extended family,
  • Money, work, children, and responsibility issues.

The Recurring Cycle That Leads to Divorce

  2. A spouse gets angry or upset.
  3. The other spouse defends, remains silent, or walks away.
  4. Both spouses feel misunderstood.
  5. It will close before the problem is resolved.
  6. The distance grows even greater.
  7. The topic of divorce comes up again in the next argument.

Pearl Therapy doesn't blame partners. It breaks the cycle. The triggering emotion, subconscious pattern, behavior, and counter-reaction are all changed together.
