084: What to do when your coparent is a LIAR! Feb 01, 2022

Show notes

Does your child's other parent villify you every chance they get? If so, this episode will help you combat the lies your child is being fed in real time. If your coparent fills your child's head with lies and toxicity, it is YOUR obligation to provide the child with references so they can have access to the truth.

It is quite unfair to adultify a child, however, if your coparent is committed to doing so, it is YOUR job to provide the afflicted child with references to refute the lies. You no longer have the luxury of trying to preserve their childhood by telling them fairytales. They've already been exposed to a very real, very harsh reality. The truth is the tool they will need to fend for themselves one day.
-Coach Naja

Show notes

Have you ever wanted to talk to an actual psychologist that testifies for families in court? Today Naja chats with an actual psychologist that's gone to Family Court over 300 times! Dr. Baker. Kelley Baker earned her Ph.D. in Developmental, Social, and Personality Psychology and she has counseled individuals and families since 1994. Dr. Baker specializes in providing mental health services to families during divorce and post-divorce. She has completed over 190 hours of specialized training for mental health professionals working with families of divorce and alienation. She has worked with over 300 cases since beginning her private practice and provided testimony throughout central Texas.

In Dr. Baker's own words, " I will not make light of the realistic loss and pain that accompanies this transition, but I will not allow the client to remain entrenched in fears that are irrational and will destroy their children. I am interested in helping adults who believe in the unity of all human beings and the ultimate goodness from which we come. The primary objectives aim at teaching the client how to end their marriage in a way that uplifts them personally and spiritually, models appropriate and healthy relationship skills to their children, and increases their ability to make psychologically healthy choices for themselves as they move on with their lives."
