High-conflict co-parenting therapist
Support for what you’re navigating behind the scenes.
When the person who harmed you… is the person you still have to co-parent with.
The messages you dread opening. The appointments that require contact. The fear of the next accusation.
You’re protecting your child while co-parenting with someone who thrives on conflict, control, or intimidation.
No wonder your nervous system hasn’t stood down.
You’re not “overreacting.”
You’re having a trauma response to an ongoing threat.
People will tell you to "just ignore them," “document everything,” or “keep it businesslike.”
But they don’t understand that every interaction feels like walking into a storm —
because this person has historically used communication as a weapon.
You’re not weak. You’re not dramatic. You’re not the problem.
You’re navigating one of the most emotionally demanding situations a survivor can face.
And you shouldn’t have to do it alone.
