Date/Time
What does the term “high-conflict” mean? We see it being used to describe couples in couples therapy, some of whom may go onto have a divorce similarly categorized as “high-conflict.” How do we know when that term is being misapplied to a situation of domestic abuse/covert narcissistic abuse or post-separation abuse? What are the implications for how we do our work?
This training is appropriate for anyone who does family therapy, couples therapy, and child therapy; and for those currently acting as or interested in becoming a parenting coordinator, custody evaluator, etc.
This training will be of interest to those who want to learn more about narcissism and narcissistic abuse as well. In addition, we will touch on topics specific to 2SLGBTQ+ survivors.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
Upon the completion of this workshop, participants will be able to:
Learn about the terms and origins of high-conflict, domestic abuse, narcissistic abuse, coercive control.
Describe post-separation abuse cycles.
Assess more thoroughly for abuse, especially covert narcissistic abuse prior to couples therapy, child therapy, parent coordinating, custody evaluation, etc.
Describe the differences between co-parenting and parallel parenting.
Increase knowledge of the realities of family court and its real implications for children and safe parents, including relevant, currently proposed legislation.
