Working with the Fallout of Divorce

Helping clients navigate loyalty conflicts and parent-child estrangement

EstrangementEstrangementIt happens all too often after a divorce or separation – children tend to favor one parent and distance themselves from (or cut off) the other.

Sometimes this shows up early. Other times it emerges years later.

There usually isn’t a simple explanation for it. Instead, a complex web of attachment disruptions, loyalty conflicts, legal proceedings, and personal narratives can all factor in.

And many clients are left devastated by distance they don’t fully understand.

Not only that, but many well-intentioned efforts by family members (and sometimes even therapists) to repair the rupture may deepen it instead.

That’s why we put together this brand-new workshop: to give you a framework for working with estrangement in the aftermath of divorce.

— New Short Course —

Divorce, Loyalty Conflicts, and Estrangement: A Framework for Treatment

In this workshop, Joshua Coleman, PhD will dive into research on key post-divorce relational processes and share best practices for helping clients navigate parent-child estrangement.

  • How estrangement can be an adaptive relational response for children of divorced parents
  • Common post-divorce attachment injuries (and how they can manifest later in life)
  • Three common pathways to estrangement following a divorce
  • A 3-step process to reframe loyalty conflicts that stem from divorce
  • The distinct ways that divorce impacts mothers vs. fathers (and what that means for treatment)
  • Three key components that can foster repair (and three others that can undermine it)
  • Interventions from Estrangement Reconciliation Therapy (ERT) that can help facilitate emotional safety, non-defensive amends, and strategic outreach

The live workshop will take place on Thursday, February 19 from 12-3pm Eastern Time (US).

You’ll have the opportunity to ask Joshua your questions during the Q&A portions of the workshop.

In addition, your registration includes the video recording and transcript of the presentation (and both are yours to keep forever).

  • The transcript makes it easy to go back and double check concepts, citations and names that are mentioned
  • We put in a table of contents to make it easy for you to find the exact part of the webinar you need
  • Having the concepts already written allows you to take notes on how you’re going to use the ideas rather than transcribing the ideas
  • Some people simply learn better by reading than by listening or watching
  • You will be able to print out and share techniques presented in the session with your patients
