Listener's Choice Countdown #5: Ep. 29 - How To Protect Your Peace While Communicating With Your High-Conflict Co-Parent

Healthy Mom After Divorce Podcast

Communication. This topic might be the #1 thing I'm asked about by clients as a high-conflict divorce coach.
And as I dig deeper on the things that clients find the most challenging when it comes to communication, it all seems to break down into two main goals: (1) decreasing their reactivity to toxic communication from their co-parent and (2) learning how to craft effective communication that doesn't contribute to the conflict.
Achieving these goals is relatively straight forward although not always easy.
Step 1 is understanding exactly who you're dealing with (i.e. what makes them tick).
Step 2 is developing realistic expectations around your co-parenting relationship (yes, it's going to look different).
Step 3 is learning a framework to use for all communication (which takes the guesswork out of it).
And that's what this week's Listener's Choice episode is about. In at #5 on our countdown is episode 29 from January 3, 2023 called How To Protect Your Peace While Communicating With Your High-Conflict Co-Parent .
This 16-minute episode is well-worth the listen. If you prefer to read the transcript, you can find it on my website here.
