Dr. Stephanie Han is an expert who speaks from both her research and learnings as well as her own personal experience.. she has walked the walk and aspires to help all women, especially minority women, rise up, gain independence and work towards being in a better place personally and financially. I highly recommend taking a little time to read Dr. Han’s guide if you are contemplating or in the midst of your divorce story!

This course changed my life and saved me a lot of heartache through my divorce proceedings. It was empowering to put in writing what I was experiencing and help me process the information in an objective manner.
A Rebirth in Manhattan –
I write and re-write my story as my kind of yoga practice and often turn to this guide to keep me on track. Some days are tougher than others but with Dr. Han’s steady guidance l was able to walk through the storm. Thank you!

I highly recommend this book to women who have experienced, are entering, or are in the midst of divorce. It asks us to confront ourselves and the truth of our marriage, whilst critiquing the social and economic order that disadvantages us. Dr. Han’s own stories, told with such loving honesty, together with guiding questions she poses at the end each chapter, help us to do just that, step by step. But this process is not only for finding inner resources and emotional courage as we go through divorce. Dr. Han reminds women that marriage is a legal contract, and when you plan for its end, you must negotiate! The Divorce Story Structure provides the scaffolding to write, reflect and learn, and in writing our divorce stories we can heal and find our freedom. At the end, Dr. Han’s Divorce Manifesto explodes with so much love, power and wisdom that you will want to read it daily!

Dr. Han’s narration is rooted in her own journey and her clear and articulated approach to understanding identity. Our autonomy as women is made of numerous contributing factors found in our culture and family’s lives.
She helps us understand how to navigate the challenges of change and to found our autonomy once again.
An invaluable resource for women everywhere.

Though I have no need or desire to divorce my husband of 58 years, I found Dr. Han’s suggestions to examine the explicit and implicit narratives that have governed my life as a married woman to be a mysterious place that I want to explore, and her guidance on how to write that search process down, to be read and reread, if only by myself, is valuable beyond measure.

Dr. Stephanie Han is neither a therapist nor an attorney– she is is a insightful, strong and wise woman who has generously shared her learnings from her own divorce to empower other women by providing a structure to record the facts and feelings of what led them to seek divorce. I don’t know of another writing teacher who specializes in this area, and I highly recommend this guide as a way to feel organized and confident as you enter the divorce process.

As a result of her own divorce, Dr. Han has developed a powerful step by step path enabling her reader to identify her own TRUTH, experience renewal, as she writes her deeply personal divorce narrative, and in so doing build a confident new life for herself …….HEALED.
A Friend for Life –
In this guide, Stephanie shares her superpower of witnessing the stories of women during a time of profound change. The legal process of divorce is incredibly limited and not designed to support the emotional healing most women crave. Stephanie has designed a unique process to support women as they reclaim their stories and their healing experience.

Dr. Stephanie Han’s How to Write Your Divorce Story is an excellent guide for women to organize the overwhelming thoughts, feelings, and struggles into clear, understandable pieces that will lead them more productively through the dissolution process. I highly recommend this short, yet empowering guide.

Dr. Stephanie Han’s BREAK: How to Write Your Divorce Story offers sincere and steady clarity from an informed voice. It was a valuable companion on my journey to critically, justly, and compassionately (compassion for myself and for others) process my own break from my husband and look toward my future. The step-by-step guide is accessible, thought-provoking, and covers the spectrum of topics that need to be considered in this process. There is no other resource like this out there. I highly recommend it for anyone on the path to reclaiming and re-storying their lives.

During the tempest of my divorce, Dr. Stephanie Han’s guidance was a lifeline. Her expertise in helping women craft their divorce stories provided a much-needed anchor as my existence was unraveling–both the life I had curated and my role as a spouse and parent.
Through her clear counsel and insights, I discovered a powerful voice, one that transcended the confines of my personal narrative. With her help, I was able to dissect the myths that had clouded my understanding of myself and dismantle the harmful narratives I had internalized. During one’s life, there are times one falls apart and comes back together again. Dr. Stephanie’s work and guidance was vital in helping me come back together. This transformative process empowered me to reflect on my experiences with a newfound sense of strength and clarity.
Dr. Han’s authentic approach, born from her own personal journey, resonated deeply with me. I believe her work is invaluable for anyone navigating the complexities of divorce or life. Her guidance helped me not only survive but emerge stronger, and I am eternally grateful for her support.

“BREAK: How to Write Your Divorce story guide” served as an indispensable crutch, helping me regain my balance amidst the chaos of my messy divorce. Following it, I was able to write my own narrative and find solace through the process.
I highly recommend for any woman seeking support and direction

The chaos and upheaval of divorce creates a stormy wake that we feel for years. Stephanie’s guide to writing your divorce story is not only sensible from a legal standpoint, it’s healing. Having a vessel to put my story, knowing it was safe and something I could come back to made a lot of sense. Writing things out frees us up to move forward. It’s a way of taking our power back so we can move on. Having a step by step guide takes away the fear of the blank page. I highly recommend working with Stephanie and using the guide. She’s sharp, empathetic and straightforward. You’ll gain a lot from her experience and kindness–and from using your voice, writing out your story!

I’ve taken two of Stephanie’s superb courses, and even as a fellow English professor and extremely experienced writing teacher myself, I have found her courses to be invaluable. I’ve been divorced twice, and in the most recent course, I benefited from some of the simple, accessible, and yet transformative exercises and activities that Stephanie has devised. I was in fact not interested in writing my divorce story, but in the course, I wrote a short version of it which was incredibly powerful and useful for me, as I sifted through it to figure out what I DID wish to include in my manuscript.
Dr. Han’s guide is great for several reasons: her empowering rationale, her explication of the power of story, her super useful framing questions, like with her Master Narrative schema, and all of this is presented in a tone that blends the friendly and personal with the more academic and instructional. Well worth it!

Dr. Stephanie Han’s interview on NPR profoundly affected me and the way I approached my high conflict divorce. Hopeful that I could find a way through enormous chaos, anxiety and cognitive dissonance, I took her seminar “BREAK” on-line. I was not disappointed. Seldom does life shift so dramatically in the face of trauma and heart-ache. I couldn’t have asked for a better, or more timely resource than the release of her guide “BREAK” as I grow closer to a court date. Please read this book and share with anyone you know who would benefit from the strength and truth in Stephanie’s words. She is a force!
