Divorce doesn’t just end a relationship. It reshapes your nervous system, your confidence, your sense of safety — and often your relationship with intimacy, trust, and yourself.

Phoenix Rising is a small, women-only support group for those who are done pretending they’re “fine” — and ready to rebuild from a steadier, more grounded place.

This is not about rushing into dating.
Not about blaming yourself.
Not about reliving the past endlessly.

It’s about understanding what the divorce changed in you — and learning how to move forward with clearer boundaries, stronger self-trust, and a renewed sense of choice.

Facilitated by Dr. Martha Tara Lee, Relationship Counselor & Clinical Sexologist, Phoenix Rising offers a structured, compassionate space where women can heal, reflect, and reconnect — without pressure to perform, overshare, or be “over it” already.

Who this is for

  • Women who are divorced or legally separated
  • Women who feel emotionally stuck, numb, guarded, or quietly overwhelmed
  • Women who want to rebuild confidence, boundaries, and self-trust
  • Women who want support that is thoughtful, structured, and trauma-aware

This group is women-only by design, to support safety, honesty, and depth of work.

What this is and isn’t

  • Is a guided, therapist-facilitated support group
  • Is skills-based, reflective, and grounded in clinical practice
  • Focused on healing, resilience, and forward movement
  • Not therapy
  • Not a dating bootcamp
  • Not a sharing free-for-all

Structure

  • Sundays, 2 –5 pm (Singapore time)
  • 8 consecutive Sundays from 12 Apr 2026 – 31 May 2026
  • Online (Live on Zoom)
  • Maximum 8 participants

Fees

  • Standard: S$720

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. Is this therapy?
No. Phoenix Rising is a therapist-facilitated support group with teaching, reflection, and optional sharing. It is not a replacement for 1:1 therapy.

Q2. Is there a recording or replay?
No recording and no replay, to protect confidentiality and group safety. Screenshots/screen recording are not allowed. You will still receive all PDFs and worksheets.

Q3. What if I miss a session?
There are no make-up sessions. Participants also cannot join a future intake to “make up” missed classes, as continuity is essential for group safety and dynamics. Worksheets for the missed week will still be provided.

Q4. How do I join?
Submit an application → a 10–15 minute screening call → confirmation and payment → welcome pack sent before Week 1.

Q5. What’s your cancellation/refund policy?
Because this is a small, closed support group that relies on continuity and emotional safety, fees are non-refundable once your place is confirmed. If you withdraw before the program starts, your spot cannot be transferred to another intake.
