divorce & play therapy trainingI did not choose to have a speciality in divorce related child and family therapy. It came with the territory naturally and then I became known as the therapist in town who worked well and willingly with families going through divorce or who were post-divorce struggling with various related issues. After many intense and high conflict divorce cases I began creating divorce and play therapy trainings for therapists and I wrote my book When Parents Are at War: A Child Therapist’s Guide to Navigating High Conflict Divorce and Custody Cases.

Here I’d like to introduce you to a whole collection of divorce related recorded trainings.

Navigating High Conflict Divorce & Custody Cases: A Preparedness Course for Child Therapists

Recorded and available on demand RIGHT HERE

Child therapists simply are not prepared in grad school or in general clinical training for how to navigate high conflict cases. The stakes are quite high in these cases often putting unknowing therapists in very risky positions. These kinds of cases often involve parents who may demonstrate traits that look like personality pathology. Sometimes it’s simply that the parents in these cases are consumed by anger and stress, often stoked by the process of legal battle. Child therapists need deep and specific training on how to be prepared, how to screen for these cases, how to discern if they can take on a case knowing it will likely be high conflict, and if they do take it on they need to know how to navigate in a way that preserved the integrity of the child’s therapy and aids the family without being dragged into the quick-sand. This is a 12 module pre-recorded course featuring six seasoned expert therapists providing instruction. It is not offering CE hours rather should be seen as a sort of insurance policy for your practice.
