What is a
high conflict divorce coach?
Navigating a divorce or attempting to co-parent with a truly high conflict individual (HCI) is not accomplished by using standard conflict resolution strategies. Your support team needs to understand the nature of the HCI in order to adequately prepare you for this specific challenge. As a certified high conflict divorce coach, I will be your concierge of information: A strategy partner, an ally in creating your personalized road map, and the emotional support you're going to need to make it through each area of your process. Managing an ex partner's hurtful tactics is difficult, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, confused, and alone in the face of such an onslaught. There is a separate strategy involved when navigating a HCI, and if you and/or your team is unaware, the consequences can be monumental and long lasting.
What is a high conflict individual (HCI)?
High conflict individuals have a pattern of high-conflict behavior that increases conflict rather than attempting to reduce or resolve it. This destructive pattern goes beyond someone "just being difficult." The issue is never the issue. The issue is the HCI's drive to control at all costs.
Typical behavior patterns of the HCI include:
-
blaming others / victim mentality
-
all-or-nothing thinking
-
lack of empathy / performative empathy
-
inability to self-regulate
-
manipulation
-
boundary violations
-
interpersonal exploitation for personal gain
-
contempt for others
-
need for dominance + control + power
-
entitlement / lack of accountability
