Why Your Mind Reacts Before You Can Think — and How We Rewire That
You have two minds that shape every moment: the one that thinks and the one that reacts. When something triggers old fear or shame, your reactive mind jumps in first — just like how you’d flinch at a spider before realizing it’s harmless. The ShiftGrit approach helps you retrain that automatic system so your reactions finally line up with what you know to be true — calm, confident, and in control.

- Structured and transparent approach

Identity-Level Therapy for Divorce in Alberta (ab)
Identity-Level Therapy targets the belief patterns and emotional loops driving automatic reactions—not just the surface symptoms. By working at the identity layer, clients shift how they interpret safety, regulate threat, and relate to themselves and others. The result: reconditioning at the root of shame, self-sabotage, reactivity, and overwhelm.
It’s organized around three pillars:

Frequently asked questions
What can I expect when starting divorce in Alberta (ab)}?
At ShiftGrit, your first session focuses on understanding what’s been happening and what you’d like to see change. We begin by getting a clear sense of your current challenges, history, and goals. This allows your psychologist to outline a personalized therapy plan and explain the process so you always know what to expect.
How is divorce different from traditional talk therapy?
Our approach uses a structured, insight-driven model that helps clients understand why their patterns of emotion, thought, or behaviour developed and how to change them at the root. Rather than open-ended conversations, sessions have a clear focus and build toward consistent progress through education, practical tools, and guided self-awareness.
Is divorce only for people who are currently going through a divorce?
Not at all. Many clients seek divorce before, during, or after a separation — or even while considering major relationship decisions. The goal is to help you navigate emotional transitions with clarity, stability, and confidence, no matter what stage you’re in.
How can therapy help during or after a divorce?
Therapy offers a structured space to understand and manage the emotional impact of change. Working with a psychologist can help you clarify priorities, build emotional resilience, strengthen communication, and move forward in ways that align with your long-term values and goals.
Does ShiftGrit work with co-parenting or blended family situations?
Yes. Many of our clients work through challenges related to co-parenting, parenting after separation, or adjusting to blended family dynamics. Your divorce plan can include practical tools for managing communication, setting boundaries, and supporting children through transitions.
Can I attend divorce sessions online if I don’t live in Alberta (ab)?
Absolutely. We offer secure virtual sessions across Alberta (ab) and can match you with a registered psychologist licensed to provide care in your region. Virtual therapy offers flexibility while maintaining the same high-quality care and structure as in-person sessions.
How long does divorce usually take?
Every client’s situation is unique. The number of sessions depends on your specific needs, goals, and availability. Your therapist will provide an overview of the recommended pacing and structure after your first session so you have a clear understanding of what the process will look like.
Does ShiftGrit participate in community events related to divorce and emotional wellness in Alberta (ab)?
Yes — our Alberta (ab) team often takes part in local initiatives that focus on emotional wellness and personal development. For example, one of our psychologists recently joined a panel of professionals at Deconstructing Divorce 3.0 – Women’s Divorce Preparedness Night in Calgary, a local event focused on empowering women through divorce education and emotional wellness.
This event brought together experts in law, finance, coaching, and psychology to help women navigate the emotional, legal, and financial realities of divorce with confidence.
While Deconstructing Divorce was not a ShiftGrit-hosted event, we’re proud to see members of our team contributing their expertise to community-focused collaborations that align with our mission of supporting individuals through life transitions with clarity, compassion, and practical tools for change.
