Divorce Coaches Academy™️ (DCA™️)

There's a big difference between advocating for yourself, being assertive and being aggressive. And smart negotiators know when to use which strategy. When big feelings come up and you're pissed off, it's easy for many of us to flip into fight mode. It feels powerful. But are you sacrificing long term gains for temporary relief? In divorce and co-parenting, strategy matters. What if you could learn to fight like a stealth ninja 🥷 instead of an angry lion 🦁 ? Being strategic doesn't mean giving up what you're fighting for - you're simply shifting into quiet mode to improve your chances of success. #divorceconfict #highconflictdivorce #divorcestrategy #negotiation #conflictstyles #beaninja #divorcecoachtraining #certifieddivorcecoach #stealthmode

Ever hear the expression "Expectations are just planned resentments”? When our expectations aren't met, we feel like what we got less than we deserved, which leads to disappointment and builds to resentment which increases cost, conflict, and stress in divorce. Whether the source is tv and movies, social media, or family and friends, people can tend to enter into divorce with some preconceived notions about how it works or how things will go. They may have expectations about parenting time, how much support they’ll get, how their spouse will behave, or how assets will be divided. And when those expectations don’t match up with the reality of their divorce process, reactions can range from mild disappointment to downright rage. In this episode we're talking through 10 of the most common expectations we hear from clients beginning the divorce process, offering some reality testing, and sharing some tips to help them prepare to accept the reality of their situation and make choices that reflect their priorities and their values. #divorcepodcast #divorceexpectations #resentment #conflict #highconflictdivorce #realitytesting #divorcetruths #divorcecoaching

This week we're talking about Post Traumatic Spouse Disorder. No, that’s not a real DSM diagnosis, but it is a condition that can affect people who go through extremely contentious divorces. It’s well known that divorce can be one of the most stressful life events our clients will experience. And we’ve talked extensively about how fear escalates cost and conflict. But there’s a secret ingredient that can make the process even more difficult and more expensive … and that’s trauma. Coaching a client in trauma presents some extra challenges because their alarm system is going off and when we feel threatened, it’s hard to have the same level of self-awareness or decision making skills. Listen in as Tracy and Debra discuss types of trauma, trauma responses, trauma recovery, and strategies for supporting clients struggling with divorce related PTSD. #divorcepodcast #divorcecoaching #PTSD #divorcetrauma #highconflictdivorce #highconflictcoparenting #divorcelitigation #divorcestress #divorcehelp #narcissist #legalabuse

And an amazing power it is. When couples take the same old repetitive conflict patterns into divorce and co-parenting settlement discussions, results are frustrating at best and disastrous at worst. But just one person can change the game. That's the beauty of divorce coaching as an individualized form of dispute resolution. When one party shows up differently, the rules of the game change and new possibilities emerge. #divorcecoachtraining #williamury #possibilities #conflictresolution #alternativedisputeresolution #conflictcoaching #divorcepodcast #negotiation #negotiationbooks #negotiationstrategy #dvorcesettlement #mediation
