  • 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.

In addition, the far-reaching and devastating impact of abuse on those... more

    You are way off! You said yourself you are not in the know about the family’s history and the situation.

    One of your main points was privacy. Do you think they hadn’t talked about it already behind closed doors?
