The Divorce and Beyond® Podcast with Susan Guthrie, Esq.

Changing Outcomes for Alienated and Estranged Parents with Coach and Filmmaker, Ginger Gentile on The Divorce & Beyond Podcast #290


Listen Later

This week on The Divorce & Beyond podcast, Susan Guthrie, Esq, welcomes back Ginger Gentile as she shares her tried and true tips for alienated and estranged parents.

Parental alienation is a silent epidemic affecting families all over the United States (and beyond).  Whatever term you choose to use to describe it - parental alienation, estrangement, or parental interference - emotions of alienated and estranged parents are fraught with fear. Often, the experience can be isolating. Parents feel as though there is no recovery, no coming back from this, or they simply don’t know what to do.   


In this episode, Ginger Gentile joins Susan to help parents work to reunite with their children after divorce or separation. Together they discuss specific ways to manage emotions and behaviors that will eventually create lasting change and work to heal alienated parents’ relationships with their children. 

Topics and Golden Nuggets include

  • Communication is at the core of how you start reversing parental alienation. 
  • The importance of emotionally detaching and establishing a brief, informative, friendly, but firm communication with the co-parent 
  • Why earlier intervention can lead to better outcomes
  • Focus on your behavior changes and yourself instead of your children's or ex's behavior
  • “Changes must come from within. It takes time and work.”

    About this week's special guest:  Ginger Gentile

    Ginger Gentile is on a mission to save children from the trauma of high-conflict divorce. Her first film on this topic, ERASING DAD, was filmed in Argentina and resulted in joint-custody legislation being enacted. Her latest film, ERASING FAMILY, currently streaming on all major platforms, exposes the trauma children suffer when a loving parent is erased from their lives. This problem affects 22 million families in the US alone.  

    In her time serving as the Executive Director of the National Parents Organization in 2019, she added six new state affiliates and garnered national press attention for the Shared Parenting Report Card. Now, she is coaching parents suffering from parental alienation to help them reunite with their erased children GingerGentile.com/consulting 

    Her program for replicating the success of reunited families will soon be a podcast, course, and book.
