Finding Strength Through Change: Trauma-Informed Support for Your Family Law Journey
Guiding you through life’s toughest transitions with understanding, care, and expertise
Introduction to “Within The Window”
Within The Window’ is a unique collaboration between three dedicated teams — Burgess Mee, Rosefield Divorce Consultancy, and Innisfree Therapy - each committed to transforming how family law and trauma are approached.
We know that navigating family law is difficult enough, and facing it while dealing with trauma can feel overwhelming.
Our goal is to provide you with comprehensive support that goes beyond legal advice, helping you find clarity, strength, and a way forward that feels right for you.
You don’t have to go through this alone. We’re here to help you find calm, resilience, and the support you need to move forward.
Understanding Trauma in Family Law
How Trauma Can Affect Your Legal Journey
Trauma can make an already stressful situation like family law even more overwhelming. It’s not uncommon to experience emotions and responses that feel difficult to understand, such as:
Fight – Feeling on edge, defensive, or easily angered.
Flight – Avoiding discussions, feeling trapped, or wanting to escape the situation.
Freeze – Feeling stuck, disconnected, or unable to make decisions.
Fawn – Agreeing to things that don’t feel right just to keep the peace.
These responses can affect every part of your family law journey, from mediation to court proceedings. We’re here to help you recognise and understand these feelings, so you can take back control and make decisions that are best for you and your family.
