What is high-conflict coparenting? 
 

High‑conflict coparenting isn’t just disagreements over schedules or discipline.

 

It often involves:

  • Persistent communication breakdown—emails or calls that escalate into overt or covert abuse

  • Emotional volatility and manipulation—such as guilt-tripping, silent treatment and unpredicable outbursts

  • Court escalations—frequent filings, motions, or drawn out proceedings

  • Stonewalling on Decision making issues—like routine medical issues or vaccinations

  • Kids as pawns—exposing children to parental strife, loyalty pressure, or conflicting narratives

     

​These dynamics are deeply stressful, toxic and confusing.  

​

This is harmful to you and you might not want to burden those around you with every new development.

 

I get it. I can help.

Working Together Means:

"The Mother Corp. was there when I needed her. When everyone else put me on hold, or stopped listening, or told me to go somewhere else, or charged me way too much for ambivalence, she was there; with compassion, respect and most critically with the knowledge I needed about the system and its inner workings.

 

After I thought that I had explored every avenue and had found the doors all locked, The Mother Corp. found ways to open them. I called her in exhilaration, her insights had worked, I had found what I needed to save myself and perhaps even more critically, I was able to protect my child.

 

The Mother Corp. understands the psychological workings of silent abuse but also the legal, social, and interpersonal ways that make it hard to break free. She is non-judgemental, right there in all the ways you want someone to show up, and she not only understands the situation at hand, but she is also there as a professional and informational guide to show you all the ways out - ways to move forward with your life, that you would have never have seen on your own."

Concrete support

Here is how we can work together:

  • Center your child’s best interests

  • Learn how to demonstrate your position factually and leverage it effectively

  • Understand the nuances of decisions you'll be making — and their implications

  • Learn how to de-scalate conflict in communication

Mindset support 

Here is the emotional mindset work we can do together so you can understand what is and is not in your sphere of control...

Determining what activities are undertaken during your parenting (such as soccer and tv time). 

 

Not in your sphere of control: Determining what activities are done during the other parent's time.

Looking after yourself physically, emotionally and spiritually, especially under stress.

 

Not in your sphere of control: How other people behave. 

What areas and aspects you determine (such as food, bedtime, and routines). 

​

 

Not in your sphere of control: Determining areas and aspects done during the other parent's time.

Your actions.

 

​

Not in your sphere of control: Other people's actions. 

Working together means that you know what you can let go of and where you can effect positive change.

She was able to support me with practical matters like drafting professional emails, mindfulness techniques and assisted me in carving out a new path after a complex separation with a young child."

So Highly Effective!

I started working with Chavisa after a deep dive into finding a trauma therapist/coach who really understands the healing process of lifelong CPTSD. I have had therapists who haven’t. I found myself recommending books for them to read because I’m that nerd who keeps hoping I can learn my way out of this. Unfortunately I have come to the conclusion that I need human support and feedback to heal whether I like it or not.

When I found Chavisa I was still reluctant but also desperate to heal. And thankfully, she gets it, unlike any therapist/coach I’ve worked with. She understands that sometimes it’s a slow process and sometimes it’s a slower process to heal. I feel like I have space to be and to think.

We’ve only been working together for a couple of months and the impact it has had on my life has blown my mind! I highly recommend her to anybody recovering from PTSD, CPTSD, or any other unresolved trauma. She really cares. And it shows!
