Parental Alienation Speaks
Like many who have lived through the nightmare of parental alienation, I thought I knew all there was to know after experiencing it with my husband. But as I began speaking with child advocates, counselors, social workers, and other professionals, I realized that simply living through it didn’t mean I fully understood it. I wasn’t connecting the dots for them, and if I wanted to make a real impact, I knew I needed to bridge that gap. This realization led me to dive deep into evidence-based research. Now, I’m passionate about combing through books, journal articles and other resources to uncover key insights that can make a difference for those going through this. Through this podcast, I aim to break down the most important findings and present them in a way that resonates with you. My goal is not only to give you information that sticks but also to provide practical tools to help you along your journey. Join me as I confront the psychological abuse of Parental Alienation with an evidence-based approach, delivering expert insights and actionable strategies to understand, navigate, and cope with its harmful impact. The information shared in this podcast is drawn from my YouTube videos.
