Child inclusive mediation - with Rachel Oakes and Claire Colbert from Family Mediation and Mentoring LLP.

Narcissists in Divorce: The Narcissist Trap

In this episode, top UK family lawyer Karin Walker and Narcissism expert Dr Supriya McKenna discuss how to approach child inclusive mediation with lawyer mediators Rachel Oakes and Claire Colbert when a narcissist is involved. They discuss balancing the benefits of hearing the voice of the child with the possible repercussions for the child from the narcissistic parent. They also discuss the difficulties lawyers face when dealing with narcissistic clients, and how this can affect their own wellbeing, and the challenge of balancing pressure from law firms to reach financial targets with caving into unnecessary correspondence where a narcissist is involved - and how this runs up costs for the client.

Dr Supriya's new book, the second in the Narcissists in Divorce series, From Leaving to Liberty – The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth is available now. An in depth, comprehensive, holistic guide, it exposes the inadequacies of worldwide family justice systems, and shows you how to stay afloat, how to take control of the narrative, and how to protect your mental health.
You will also learn how to vet potential lawyers, how to minimize post-separation abuse and how to spot (and sack) a narcissistic lawyer. It includes sections on the practicalities of co-parenting with a narcissist, how to protect your children from the narcissistic parent and effective communication tactics with which to manage your narcissistic ex.
This book also deals with harassment, cyberstalking and tech abuse, as well as how to instruct a suitable psychologist for the family court. It guides you through how to expose your ex's financial lies, how to manage their false allegations, and exactly how (and when) to make your own allegations against them.
The first book of the series, Narcissists in Divorce: From Love-Locked to Leaving helps you determine whether you are dealing with a true narcissist, and if so, what you need to consider regarding leaving. The audiobook sample is here.
