  • Disappointing

    Listened to a few episodes some of which are interesting, but then I heard the one on no-contact with parents. What a bunch of unsubstantiated assumptions! The episode left me feeling triggered and angry - and I was born in the 70s - not one of the younger generation your rhetoric is mocking. What was said even contradicted what was said in the previous episode about accepting that pathological people can’t change, that children need to stop trying harder all the time. This episode was suggestin... more

  • Helpful a lot of the time

    Solid info. This is a unique and pragmatic show—it does not focus on how to heal from interactions with high conflict folks. It does give a realistic picture of how some people operate and what to expect plus best practices, so it is valuable in that way.

  • Life changing

    I’m in the middle of divorce and the knowledge I gained about High Conflict Personalities (HCP) through this podcast has truly helped me make sense of my soon to be ex-wife’s extraordinary behaviors such blaming me for everything including her cancer. If you’re new to HCPs, I’d recommend listening from episode 1. It’s worth your time.

  • Kirk memorial???

    It is a decent podcast with good information. However , when Megan shared she attended the Charlie Kirk memorial it says a lot about her values. I had to unfollow the show. Integrity matters.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Does a Mental Health Diagnosis Mean a Lighter Sentence?
Q: What is the appropriate consequence when someone commits a crime during severe emotional dysregulation?
Eddy says adults remain accountable, but consequences should protect society. He favors rehabilitation and treatment where change is possible, while recognizing that some people may need to remain confined.
Does a Mental Health Diagnosis Mean a Lighter Sentence?
Q: Should having a mental health diagnosis automatically mean someone should receive a lighter sentence for a crime?
Eddy says psychosis has traditionally been treated differently because it can prevent a person from understanding reality or forming criminal intent. He emphasizes that the relevant facts include awareness, control, and planning, and that a diagnosis alone should not determine the sentence.
Stop Arguing About the Past: The SWYP Method
Q: How do you avoid runaway arguments when you bring up proposals in a two-party decision meeting?
Start by establishing a future-focused framework and a clear structure for the discussion, then consistently steer back to the proposal stage whenever the past is invoked.
Worth Repeating: A Retired Judge's Playbook for Family Court Success
Q: Can gender bias still influence custody decisions, or is it largely a myth by now?
Bias is less about gender per se and more about how the judge applies the law; litigants should prepare for varying interpretations and focus on factual proof of the child's needs.
Worth Repeating: A Retired Judge's Playbook for Family Court Success
Q: How should litigants present their case to be most persuasive to judges?
Explain concerns in three or four core areas tied to the child's best interests, provide concrete examples, and avoid lengthy timelines that overwhelm the key factors.
