Divorce coaches is a new industry dedicated¹ to helping² husbands or wives navigate³ their way out of marriage.

离婚指导师是一个致力于帮助丈夫或妻子走出婚姻的新行业。

 

Karen McMahon, a divorce coach in New York, says: "Coaching is in its infancy⁴ and divorce coaching is embryonic⁵." Practitioners⁶ come from a range of backgrounds, including financial planners, therapists and mediators. Crudely, coaching -- traditionally associated with executives -- focuses on future goals and potential, whereas therapy might explore past emotional issues in order to gain insight. 

纽约离婚指导师卡伦·麦克马洪表示：“指导行业正处于发展初期，而离婚指导行业则还处于萌芽期。”从业者拥有各种各样的背景，包括理财规划师、治疗师和调解员。粗略地说，指导——传统上主要是为高管服务——着眼于未来的目标和可能性，而治疗则是通过探究过去的情感问题来获得深入了解。

 

Karen Bigman, also based in New York and known as the "divorcierge", charges about $95 per hour. She describes the work: "We help educate [clients] about their options. We can act as a sounding board, help put together a plan, coach through difficult periods as well as guide clients through meetings with divorce professionals such as attorneys and financial advisers⁷." 

同在纽约的卡伦·比格曼被称为“divorcierge”，收费约为每小时95美元。她这样描述这份工作：“我们帮助（客户）了解他们面临的选择。我们可以提供意见，帮忙制定计划，指导他们度过艰难的时期、与律师和财务顾问等离婚方面的专业人士会面。”
