Britta Jo: 我发现很多女性因为对未来没有清晰的愿景而害怕离婚。她们被社会规训压抑自身的需求和感受，害怕他人的反应，且缺乏离婚后成功女性的榜样。离婚的决定往往伴随着对失去爱情和未来的恐惧，而悲伤是女性离婚过程中需要面对的重要部分。离婚是一个深刻的情感和复杂的过程，女性在身体上知道这是正确的选择时，仍然会为梦想的破灭而悲伤，最终，是否离开的决定取决于内心的认知。我专门帮助那些在考虑离婚时，处于人生非常艰难时期的女性，为处于“想留下还是离开”的十字路口的女性提供支持，而不是明确地建议她们修复婚姻或离婚。我在摩门教中长大，受到父权制的严重影响，从小就被洗脑，没有自我意识。婚后，我发现自己非常不快乐，只是像机器人一样生活，最终在生完第三个孩子后，我感到非常沮丧，并开始有自杀的想法。幸运的是，在一位朋友的介绍下，我遇到了一位很棒的治疗师，她花了两年半的时间帮我找回了自我。我最终改变了与我那自恋的母亲的关系，离开了我的宗教，离了婚，成为了一名教练，眼睁睁地看着我的整个家庭崩溃。我的工作是帮助那些与我有着相同经历的女性，她们迷失了自我，有一天醒来发现自己生活在别人告诉她们会很美好的生活中，但她们内心深处却讨厌这种生活，不想继续下去。
