Parental alienation is junk science, not accepted or recognized by ANY credible organization such as WHO or the American Psychological Association (APA) yet it is a HUGE money maker for attorneys and therapists. This terminology (alienation or parental alienation syndrome) is the language of the oppressor and should never be used however; it is used. In fact, it’s used by the abuser to remove children from their healthy parent.

The most common tactic used by the narcissist; claims of parental alienation. The narcissist accuses you of turning the kids against him/her, when in fact the kids can see for themselves what is happening without you saying a word. The reality is, the abusers own actions turn the children away. The narcissist may accuse you of “gatekeeping” when you try to prevent your kids from being in physically or emotionally unsafe situations. You may be accused of “enmeshment” when the narcissist is in a jealous rage that your kids are naturally more comfortable with you. The narcissist’s own actions and behavior (abuse) is what turns the children away – yet the finger is pointing at you!

If you are concerned about accusations or claims of alienation, gatekeeping or enmeshment in your future, this is an online course that you won’t want to miss. In this course, we will also discuss the disturbing origins of parental alienation which traces back to Richard’s Gardner’s alliance with pedophiles. Parental alienation is the number one tool for abusers to remove custody from healthy parents and even though it has been discredited as “junk science,” it is a widely used accusation in many courtrooms.

In this course, we will discuss the following:

• The Most Common Alienation Allegations 
• The Origin of the Alienation Movement
• The Present Day Alienation Movement 
• How to Safeguard Yourself (and your case) from Alienation Accusations

Most people will tell you that it’s a waste of time, money and energy but is it? Mediation with a narcissist can be an incredible gift – if approached the right way. In this course, we will discuss the following:

• The 101 of Mediation with a Narcissist
• Preparation 
• Strategy 
• Presentation (Yours)
• The Big Day: Mediation Day

Whether you are being forced into mediation (its mandatory in most states) or, you are going willingly, you want to operate from a place of strategy and not emotion. Before you step onto the battlefield with the devil himself (or herself), make sure you are educated, empowered and strategic.

Are you struggling with documentation in your child custody battle? A well-organized documentation system allows you to properly convey your concerns to family court professionals ( judges, GAL’s, evaluators, mediators and attorneys). Tina Swithin, Founder of One Mom’s Battle and Author of “Divorcing a Narcissist” credits much of the success in her own child custody case to her organizational system. 

“I would cringe when people would tell me to, ‘document everything,’ or ‘just keep documenting!’ Most weeks, documentation felt like a full-time job and sometimes it was. I was documenting everything and it felt like it was all in vain. Looking back, 99% of my documentation has never been submitted to the court and but, it was that 1% that ended up protecting my children. Documentation is the foundation but there is so much more to it. Once you have the documentation, it’s a matter of pulling it together and showcasing the patterns of behavior in a way that grabs the attention of those around you. It took years for me to fine-tune my system but once I did, it made a world of difference and today, my children have peace. I credit much of my family court success to the way I documented the issues and the way I presented them to the court, to minor’s counsel and to child custody evaluators.” - Tina Swithin

In this hour-long course, Tina will guide you through the steps you need to replicate her own personal documentation system. This online course will prove helpful no matter where you are in your child custody battle. 

TESTIMONIAL: “Thanks so much for  this workshop. I had been keeping notes all along and this took them to the next level.  My senior lawyer who has been in practice more than 20 years could not stop talking about how impressive my   documentation was. I was able to use this to get more than  50% custody of my 5-year-old along with the therapy for her that I’ve been requesting since 2018. Please keep up the great work!  You are making a substantial difference in   the lives of moms and kids.” - Anonymous

Are you just beginning the journey to divorce a narcissist? Prior to stepping onto the battlefield with a Narcissist, it is imperative to know their playbook both forwards and backwards. The behavior of individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder generally defies logic but sadly, their tactics in the Family Court System often fool Judges, Commissioners, Attorneys, Minor’s Counsel, Social Workers, Therapists and even trained Evaluators. Narcissists are the masters of manipulation and projection and are known to launch stealth assaults that will leave their victims in an utter state of confusion and desperation. Victims are often left shattered and without a voice because they feel that no one could possibly believe or understand what they are silently enduring. 

In this one-hour course, Tina Swithin will provide you with an overview of divorcing a narcissist — this is one you won’t want to miss! 

* NPD 101 (knowing your opponent) 
* NPD traits that contribute to high-conflict divorce
* Hiring an attorney 
* Building your team 
* Strategy versus emotion
* Family court 101 (learning the system) 
* Organization 
* Standing firm in your truth 
* Communication
* Combating alienation claims 
* Custody evaluations

Are you struggling to understand how to properly communicate with a narcissist (or high-conflict individual) during your child custody battle? Communication during a child custody battle with a narcissist, and more specifically, strategic communication, plays a huge role in the outcome (positive or negative) of family court cases. The reality is, most people play right into the narcissist’s trap and wind up looking like they are part of the conflict. 

In this course, we will discuss the following:

• The Reality of Family Court (Radical Acceptance: they don’t know either of you)
• Understanding Narcissistic Communication 
• Gray Rock vs Yellow Rock Communication
• What is “The Yellow Rock Mentality?” 
• Decoding the Narcissist’s Communication
• Strategic Communication for the Win 

Having a strategic mindset and removing emotions is a tall but crucial step to painting a picture of who the narcissist is — and who you are as a person and, as a parent.
