The Hope Reclaimed definition of Reclaiming is "Identifying a fearful, and painful internal reaction to a place or thing, choosing to face it head-on and create a new, positive association." Whether we choose to Reclaim specific locations, emotions or relationships, we talk about the personal experience as well as the science behind Reclaiming. 

In order for true healing to take place, we need to know the healer. Week two is all about getting to know the nature of God. Is God good? Does he actually care about what I'm going through? We will answer these questions and in week two. 

After a life-changing event like divorce, we're often given an opportunity to ask "Who am I now?" We want to answer that question really well!

In this week, we talk about those foundational lies that you may be believing about yourself and we choose to replace it with the truth of who God created us to be: 

• I am enough
• I am chosen
• I am loved

While going through divorce, your emotions are likely all over the place, and that is completely normal. After all, you're experiencing unexpected loss. This week is all about facing those emotions you're feeling. The grief you're experiencing should be named as such - grief! Not only that, the anxiety and depression that you may be experiencing is treatable.

What if forgiveness doesn't look like we think it does? What if we could choose to forgive even while we are still angry at the person who hurt us? This week, we talk about what it looks like to forgive like Jesus. We talk about how we can actually forgive before we feel like it and how we can choose to forgive ourselves.

Divorce effects people around us as well. Communicating with other's about our divorce and about our ex is not easy. Whether it's with our family or with our children, how we choose to use our words and actions is powerful and it can change the game.

To honor your body and your mind after divorce is a gift. Far too many people look past this gift. Healthy sexuality may not look like your youth group purity conversations, but it is worship to God and true respect for yourself. 

Although you may not feel like everything is perfect at the end of this course, it is important to remember that our lives are being Reclaimed by God right now. Sharing your story and your testimony is a powerful step in that.
