Many survivors experience stress when their high conflict divorce begins to negatively impact their work. Whether it’s the stress of the high conflict divorce, sabotage efforts by the narcissist, or time and energy requirements by your attorney or legal team that are infringing on work time, it’s very common for survivors to feel that their job is suffering due to a high conflict divorce. 

When you’ve experienced narcissistic abuse, it’s important to tend to your mental health early and often. 

 In the midst of a high conflict divorce or custody battle, life can feel overwhelmingly stressful. It’s important to intentionally set aside time to tend to your mental health.

Many narcissistic abuse survivors find journaling to be helpful. The following prompts are intended to help survivors tap into their resilience, inner strength, and power.

If you’re asking, “is my husband a covert narcissist?” It's important to get familiar with the signs so you can begin protecting yourself now.

Too often, narcissistic abusers are careless, or even calculated, in exposing children to mature content, pornographic content, or disturbing video games that leave children confused and traumatized.

If you’re divorcing a narcissist, brace yourself (if it’s not already underway) for a smear campaign that could reach your family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, employers. But don’t despair, because many survivors have experienced and gotten through the narcissist’s smear campaign with their dignity intact. Here’s what you need to know. 

Learn one important practice to stay grounded as you experience the trauma of divorcing a narcissist.

 Most of us come onto the battlefield saddled with a great deal of trauma from our marriages. 

Then, entering the family court system, intense stressors and traumas can come at us from all angles. As we work toward a strategic mindset, it’s important to establish practices to acknowledge and work through our painful emotions in safe spaces.

The court orders are clear. There is absolutely no excuse for the narcissist to violate them - and yet over and over again there are clear violations.

And every time you try to get someone - anyone - to hold the narcissist accountable so that the violations will stop - nothing happens. And the narcissist just gets more confident and the feelings of invincibility grow.

This is one dirty (but predictable) trick in the narcissist’s playbook. 

Just like the narcissistic abuser found ways to control and manipulate you financially during the marriage, they can’t help but try to do so post-separation.

Often, the most effective way they can exercise financial power and control over a victim post-separation, is to simply remove the victim’s ability to access finances.

If you are like many protective parents, you entered into the world of coparenting hoping that things would get better post-separation. But then the reality of post-separation abuse hit you like a brick wall.

If you’re battling to protect your child in the family court system, it’s important that you understand how essential it is to operate from a place of strategy rather than emotion.

A High Conflict Divorce Coach (HCDC) is your strategic partner. You are no longer in the trenches alone when you enlist a HCDC as your trusted team member.

When your narcissistic ex bombards you with messages, you may feel powerless to the fear and frustration. One of the most terrifying and frustrating forms of post separation abuse is stalking and harassment. High conflict and narcissistic individuals often use every means available to them to induce fear in the victim.

The majority of victims experience financial abuse at the hands of the narcissist. In and out of the intimate relationship, financial abuse is a demeaning, stressful, and controlling tactic that abusers use to keep victims feeling depleted and powerless.
