In this insightful discussion, Ross Rosenberg and Karen McMahon delve into the challenges of high-conflict divorces, especially with narcissistic partners. Karen, founder of Journey Beyond Divorce, shares her expertise in guiding individuals through the emotional and legal hurdles of divorce, focusing on those affected by self-love deficit disorder (SLDD) and codependency. She highlights the importance of personal healing and empowerment amidst the chaos of divorce proceedings.

Karen explains how individuals often feel diminished and fearful during a high-conflict divorce and stresses the need to concentrate on personal growth rather than being overwhelmed by the spouse’s behavior. The conversation also covers how to manage children’s experiences during a divorce, emphasizing the importance of validating their feelings while maintaining one's own emotional stability to better support them.

Ross and Karen draw parallels between codependency and addiction, noting that both involve a pattern of unhealthy reliance on conflict and chaos. They stress the importance of self-care and emotional healing to navigate post-divorce life and co-parenting effectively. The discussion concludes with a reminder that the impact of divorce extends beyond legal matters, emphasizing the need for ongoing personal growth to positively affect both individuals and their children.
