A Certified High Conflict Divorce Coach vs. General Divorce Coaches: What’s the Difference?
Divorce is difficult, no matter what but when you’re divorcing a high conflict, narcissistic individual, “difficult” doesn’t even begin to describe it.
What’s the Difference Between a Divorce Coach and a High Conflict Divorce Coach?
Finding the right support for yourself as you traverse your high conflict divorce and/or custody battle, is going to be an essential step you take in your personal journey.
Understanding the distinctly separate roles of a Divorce Coach (DC) versus a High Conflict Divorce Coach (HCDC) is an important step in your decision-making process.
What is the Role of a Divorce Coach?
A Divorce Coach (DC) offers emotional support and empowerment to the client. By asking open-ended questions, the DC helps the client navigate the uncharted territory of divorce and post-divorce life. DCs help clients tap into their wants, needs, feelings, and core values, which can get lost or neglected during the marriage. DCs provide invaluable support, helping clients to come to a hopeful, positive, and empowered space.
What is the Role of a High Conflict Divorce Coach?
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.
An HCDC is NOT an attorney or a therapist - so rather than offering legal or therapeutic advice, your HCDC provides services and support that compliment the work of family law attorneys and mental health providers. Your HCDC holds a unique lens, supporting you in seeing your situation from a variety of angles and perspectives to ensure that you’re fully educated on all processes involved in your case.
Your HCDC is your strategy partner and sounding board guiding you to operate from a place of strategy rather than emotion.
If you are divorcing an individual with high conflict or narcissistic behaviors or patterns, it’s highly recommended that you seek the support of an HCDC.
