How High-Conflict Divorce Counseling Supports You
High-conflict divorces often lead to a cycle of anger and resentment that may jeopardize the wellbeing of everyone involved, especially children. Our sessions focus on understanding the dynamics at play and equipping you with strategies to navigate your divorce effectively. Dr. Shannon Daneshrad, our lead psychologist, has over ten years of experience specializing in high-conflict divorce cases. We utilize evidence-based techniques to foster emotional regulation, communication improvement, and conflict resolution, enabling our clients to gain clarity and direction in their lives.
Exploring High-Conflict Divorce Dynamics
High-conflict divorces are characterized by ongoing disputes, often escalating into custody battles over children or property disputes. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for establishing a healthier co-parenting relationship. High-conflict divorces constitute approximately 5%–25% of the divorcing population but occupy up to 90% of family court resources. Many clients experience persistent feelings of anxiety and uncertainty regarding their future and their children’s wellbeing. Our skilled counseling services are designed to break down these conflicts and untangle emotional patterns through targeted intervention.
Key Strategies in High-Conflict Divorce Therapy
In high-conflict divorce therapy, we employ a range of strategies aimed at reducing friction and fostering constructive dialogue:
- Emotion Regulation Techniques: Clients learn to identify and manage overwhelming emotions that can cloud judgment.
- Cognitive-Behavioral Approaches: These methods help in recognizing thought patterns that contribute to conflict.
- Mindfulness Practices: Techniques to center oneself and respond rather than react impulsively during stressful interactions.
Our experienced team at Century Psychology Group has a deep understanding of high-conflict situations and how to navigate them effectively, creating a path toward emotional wellness. Dr. Daneshrad’s advanced training in trauma-informed care ensures our clients feel safe and understood.
Navigating Co-Parenting During High-Conflict Situations
Co-parenting can be particularly challenging following a high-conflict divorce. Effective co-parenting strategies focus on minimizing conflict and maintaining stability for your children. Our professionals provide tailored guidance to help you and your ex-partner communicate effectively and jointly make decisions regarding your children’s upbringing. By fostering cooperation, we ensure that children are sheltered from adult conflicts, promoting their emotional health and security. Research shows that high-conflict divorces can lead to prolonged legal battles, with cases lasting longer than two years.
Understanding Emotional Impact of Divorce on Children
Children caught in high-conflict divorces often face emotional distress, which can manifest as anxiety, behavioral issues, or academic challenges. Our counseling services emphasize recognizing and addressing these impacts through focused therapy designed for families. By applying principles of trauma-informed care, we help families rebuild trust and strengthen relationships post-divorce, ensuring that children’s best interests remain at the forefront. Children exposed to high-conflict divorces are at increased risk of emotional and behavioral issues, including anxiety, depression, and difficulties in school.
