Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

10 Year Anniversary Episode: High Conflict Relationships: Self-Love Deficit, Delusions & Boundaries
Q: How should parents talk to children about the divorce without harming them or the other parent?
Speak about the child's experience, acknowledge feelings, validate their perspective, and avoid negative characterizations of the other parent; tailor the conversation to the child's age and ensure consistency and safety.
10 Year Anniversary Episode: High Conflict Relationships: Self-Love Deficit, Delusions & Boundaries
Q: What is the best way to calm someone down and move them incrementally into help?
Begin by inviting awareness of their own thoughts and emotions, then shift focus to the person's own behavior and responses, which helps reduce triggers and move toward practical next steps.
Divorce Without Court: Choosing the Right Approach - Mediation, Collaborative Divorce, and Settlement Negotiation with Collaborative Divorce Attorney, Cary Jacobson
Q: When should someone consider using a consulting attorney, and how does that help in mediation or collaboration?
A consulting attorney helps set realistic expectations, understand what is legally possible, and guide the process without turning it into a full-blown adversarial battle. It's useful to have numbers checked and to understand potential outcomes, which can prevent dragging out negotiations and help parties come in with informed, tempered expectations.
Divorce Without Court: Choosing the Right Approach - Mediation, Collaborative Divorce, and Settlement Negotiation with Collaborative Divorce Attorney, Cary Jacobson
Q: What are the main out-of-court options available for divorce, and how do they differ from traditional litigation?
The main options are DIY, mediation, collaborative divorce, and settlement negotiations. DIY is for couples who can clearly communicate and have straightforward issues; mediation brings in a neutral to facilitate agreement, often with consulting attorneys; collaborative involves a team including collaboratively trained attorneys and neutrals with a participation agreement and full disclosure; settlement negotiations can occur even while court action is pending, with attorneys negotiating back and forth.
When Co-Parenting Isn't an Option: A Trauma-Informed Path to Protecting Your Child with AJ Gajjar, Trauma-Informed Parenting Consultant
Q: What are practical steps a parent can take today to support their child in a high-conflict situation?
Prioritize the 3x3 connection (three minutes, three times a day, with no screens) to regulate the child's nervous system, acknowledge and validate emotions, and create a safe, predictable space for them to express themselves.
