Narcissistic Alienation Of Adult Children: When Love Turns To Loss 41:17

for 22 dager siden41:17

41:17

Imagine discovering that your once-loving adult child has suddenly become a stranger, cutting you off from their life and your grandchildren over seemingly trivial incidents like giving them a strawberry or a cup of water. Tracy Malone, an international divorce and narcissist abuse survival coach, reveals a disturbing trend of narcissistic alienation of adult children. This alienation occurs when an adult child's narcissistic partner systematically isolates them from their parents, siblings, and other family members. The narcissist’s tactics usually follow a calculated pattern, starting with love-bombing the family before marriage, then gradually introducing false allegations and twisted interpretations of normal interactions to drive wedges between parents and their adult child. This psychological manipulation can lead to complete estrangement or seriously limited contact. What’s worse, the narcissist often “splits” the parents, choosing one who is identified as “bad,” while the other is still allowed contact with their adult child. That strategy can then create devastating conflict in the parents’ marriage. If you're navigating the intricacies of parental estrangement or seeking ways to protect your loved ones from narcissistic behavior, this episode offers essential insights and practical survival strategies. About Tracy Tracy Malone is an International divorce coach, narcissist abuse survival coach, author, speaker, educator, victim, and surTHRIVER of narcissistic abuse.

First Responder Divorce: The Hidden Crisis That Costs Us All 44:05

for 29 dager siden44:05

44:05

Here's a secret that most employers and government agencies don’t know. An employee’s divorce costs the company or government agency that the employee works for far more than it costs the employee to go through it. That’s especially true in first responder divorce. Divorcing employees experience a loss of productivity, increased absences, increased distractions, and a higher turnover rate than non-divorcing employees. Since first responders experience divorce at a much higher rate than the general public, this is even more of a problem for them. Vicky Townsend, a trailblazer in the divorce industry, set out to change all that. Vicky has created a groundbreaking program that supports employees - particularly first responders - during the tumultuous divorce process. Employees in these programs get access to concierge-level divorce coaching, mediation services, marriage counseling resources, and specialized support for complex situations like religious divorces or high-conflict cases. The support they receive not only relieves the employee’s anxiety, but it also reduces the financial cost of divorce – both for the employee and the employer. Vicky is currently focusing this program on first responders whose job-related stress contributes to higher divorce rates and the need for more nuanced divorced guidance. If you or anyone you know is a first responder, or works for a forward-thinking company, this episode is one that you’ll not only want to listen to, but you’ll want your boss to listen to it as well. About Vicky Vicky Townsend is a trailblazing entrepreneur and advocate, dedicated to transforming the divorce process into a kinder, more affordable experience. As the founder of the National Association of Divorce Professionals, Divorce Right, and Fairwell, she has spent over two decades championing solutions that protect families from the financial and emotional toll of divorce. Her recent efforts focus on supporting first responders and military personnel during this challenging life transition. With unwavering commitment, Vicky continues to innovate and lead the charge for a more compassionate divorce industry.

In this podcast episode, spiritual teacher and healing artist Leah Guy shares her journey from trauma survivor to transformational guide, revealing how she helps people break free from toxic relationships and rediscover their authentic selves. Drawing from over two decades of experience working with clients, Leah challenges common misconceptions about narcissistic relationships and codependency. Rather than focusing solely on the narcissist’s behavior, Leah dives deeply into BOTH parties’ behavior, since breaking those patterns is the key to making lasting change.

When your marriage crumbles, figuring out how to effectively parent with your ex can feel like navigating a minefield. Co-parenting counseling, an approach that helps divorced couples prioritize their children's needs over their own complicated emotions, can help. In this podcast episode licensed professional counselor Kelley Hopkins-Alvarez explains how. Co-parenting counselors are licensed mental health professionals who provide expert recommendations and guidance to help parents communicate better and make child-focused decisions. Unlike court-appointed parenting coordinators, co-parenting counselors don’t have the authority to adjudicate disputes or enforce parenting agreements. They do, however, have the skills and ability to help parents create a functional new family dynamic where both parents can learn to work together for their children's wellbeing. If you’re searching for practical strategies for navigating common co-parenting dilemmas, such as setting boundaries, managing emotions, and creating actionable goals that prioritize children’s well-being, this episode may provide the answers you seek. Co-parenting counseling can help you transform your contentious parental dynamics into a productive partnership, helping you and your spouse align on critical parenting decisions. If you or someone you know is experiencing parenting challenges, this podcast episode just might change everything for you.
