Divorce Rates Surge as Couples Around the World Reinvent Domestic Normalcy Following COVID-19 Pandemic

LANGLEY, BC, CANADA, August 25, 2020 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Dr. Michael Dadson is a registered clinical counsellor and Senior Clinical Director of Practice at Gentle Currents Therapy and Neurofeedback, in Langley, British Columbia. Dr. Dadson primarily counsels clients with anxiety, depression, and post -traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), with a focus on couples counselling, first responders, and male mental health.

Divorce rates spiking worldwide

Since early 2020, divorce rates have been rising, even doubling and tripling, in countries around the world, seemingly a direct or indirect result of local COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions. Couples and families who struggled with interpersonal conflicts pre-pandemic have found themselves isolated in close quarters with one another, intensifying rifts.

Dr. Michael Dadson states:

“The year 2020 has been a difficult time to be in any couple and it can be a code-red for couples who were already having difficulties in their relationships before COVID-19 hampered our ability to conduct our daily lives.”

Studies have suggested that basic issues such as unevenly divided domestic chores within a couple can be aggravating enough to increase the likelihood of divorce, particularly in heterosexual married couples, possibly due to traditional expectations in modern times.

Dr. Dadson advises:

“Try to be kind and empathetic, try not to trigger your partner, and try to phrase your complaints politely, as requests, not as criticism of your partner. Couples counselling can be extremely helpful if conflicts are becoming entrenched.”

No end is anticipated for the rise in divorce; furthermore, with bad weather conditions imminent in British Columbia, couples who were able to enjoy outdoor summer activities either together or separately will soon be back inside the home.

Dr. Michael Dadson advises couples to make “couple-time” together … and have some time apart

Says Dadson:

“I would definitely recommend to anyone living together as a couple: try to create some special time together that is not part of your usual daily household routine. Just as importantly, be sure to take some personal time apart from your partner. “
