This is a snapshot of where you are in the four phases of recovery. Nobody scores “perfectly” — this just helps understand what support might help you next.
The lower your scores the MORE you are affected by the divorce in each phase.
The higher the score the LESS you are affected by the divorce.
Thinking: How much your mind is still processing the relationship
Feelings: How much grief and anger you have (averaged)
Identity: How you treat yourself when you are alone and with others
Relationships: How ready you are to date again.
These aren’t judgments — they’re snapshots. Here’s what each area often means in everyday life.
Everyone’s situation is different. Use this quick guide to find the kind of support that fits your needs, your budget, and your schedule.

Right now it can feel like your ex, the situation, the unfairness of it all is what's controlling how you feel — like you're just reacting, getting triggered, and circling the same painful thoughts with no way to stop.
This session hands you a simple, powerful tool to take some of that power back. It walks through how a single situation moves through you — from the facts, to the thought you attach to them, to the feeling, to what you do, to the result you end up with. And it shows you the one place where you actually have a choice: the space between what happens and how you respond.
As Viktor Frankl wrote from inside a concentration camp, "between stimulus and response there is a space — and in that space is our power to choose." Learning to find that space is how you stop being a prisoner to your reactions and start responding on your own terms.
This isn't about forcing positive thinking or pretending you're fine — you can't simply think your way out of real grief. It's about a practical way to slow things down, understand what's happening inside you, and begin to feel more in control of your own mind again.

We have two options for people that are really ready to begin the recovery process:
The Workshop and the Phoenix Immersion Retreat.
The Workshop and the Retreat cover the same proven process — the full RIFT rebuilding journey, built on Bruce Fisher's 40-year program. The only difference is the format. One is a steady weekly rhythm you do from home. The other is an immersive week away that moves you through it all at once. You do one or the other — whichever fits your life.
Online: For people who want to rebuild at a steady pace, from home, with the same small group beside them the whole way.

Ten weeks of live, small-group teaching and emotional work — moving through grief, anger, identity, and rebuilding, one week at a time, with a facilitator and a handful of people who truly understand.
Live Weekly Small-Group Classes — Real teaching and real emotional work every week, in a cohort capped at 10 so you're never lost in a crowd.
The Full RIFT Process, Start to Finish — The complete rebuilding roadmap, with the book and printed workbook, worked through together.
A Group That Walks With You — The same small circle for all ten weeks, plus a calling circle so you stay connected between sessions.
In Person: For people ready to step out of daily life and move through the whole process in one immersive week.

The same proven process as the Workshop — lived all the way through in five days on the Pacific coast of Mexico, guided by Kevin and Kathryn, with no more than 20 people. You leave with the rebuilding done in your body, not just on your calendar.
The Entire Process in One Week — Everything the Workshop covers, experienced fully and at depth, away from the noise of everyday life.
Led by Kevin & Kathryn — Capped at 20 by design, so the guidance stays personal and the group grows close fast.
A True Reset — Five days in Quimixto to grieve, let go, and start rebuilding who you are next.
Live Weekly Classes & In-Class Emotional Work
10 weeks of live teaching, exercises, and support as you move through grief, anger, identity, and rebuilding.
Bruce Fisher’s Book & Printed Workbook
The classic Rebuilding roadmap plus a printed workbook that puts the entire process into a clear, structured path.
Weekly Live Meetings & Calling Circle
Small-group conversations and a calling circle where you stay connected with a handful of people who truly understand

Rebuilders is based on more than 40 years of work helping people rebuild after divorce and relationship breakups. The original Rebuilders program was created by Dr. Bruce Fisher, a divorce therapist and author who realized that traditional therapy often wasn’t enough on its own.
Since then, the program has evolved and expanded, but the heart remains the same:
People heal best in community, not in isolation.
Recovery isn’t just about “moving on” — it’s about rebuilding your identity, your confidence, and your ability to love again.
You deserve tools, structure, and support that actually match what you’re going through.
Today, our team of facilitators and coaches continues that work through live groups, online programs, and resources designed specifically for the emotional impact of divorce.
Frequently Asked Questions
Not at all. Low scores usually reflect how much you’ve been carrying — not who you are as a person. Most people who take this self-test are in the middle of something painful and confusing. This is simply a snapshot that helps you understand where you are, not a label or a judgment.
Yes. Healing after a relationship ends is rarely linear. It often takes longer than people expect, especially when the breakup was unwanted, complicated, or tied to years of shared life. You’re not behind — you’re in the middle of a process that many people go through.
No. Everything on this page is here to give you clarity and support, whether you choose to work with us or not. Many people start with free resources and only explore programs later when they feel ready.
Foundations gives you immediate relief and a sense of direction.
Phoenix helps you build real momentum and understand yourself on a deeper level.
The Workshop is a guided, step-by-step rebuilding process with a live community.
Each level is simply a different layer of support — you choose what fits your needs right now.
No. Rebuilders is not therapy and doesn’t replace working with a therapist. But it is a structured, research-based emotional recovery program created specifically for people navigating the end of a relationship. Many therapists refer their clients to us because we fill a gap that traditional therapy doesn’t always cover.
That’s completely okay. Most people begin by reading their results, exploring the free tools, or sitting with the insights for a bit. There’s no pressure. When you are ready, the options will still be here.
Almost everyone feels that way at first. Shame shows up a lot during divorce or separation. But the truth is: your scores don’t say anything about your worth or your strength. They reflect exhaustion, heartbreak, and the weight of trying to hold it all together — which is incredibly human.
A simple rule of thumb:
If you need immediate relief, start with the Foundations tools.
If you want steady progress and a clear path forward, Phoenix is typically the best fit.
If you want comprehensive change and a community walking with you, the Workshop is the most supportive environment.
There’s no wrong choice — each meets a different level of need.
You’re not alone. Many people begin with Phoenix because it’s more affordable and still gives them structure, insight, and support. You can always step into the Workshop later, when life and finances settle.
Take a breath and start small.
Most people begin with the free Emotional First Aid tools or the Free Community Forum.
Small steps count. You don’t have to decide anything big today.
