Divorce is traumatic for children at every age—but parents can either deepen that wound or help their children heal.
In this conversation, licensed clinical social worker and psychoanalyst Erica Komisar explains why a “good divorce” requires parents to stop focusing on what feels fair to them and start prioritizing what their children actually need. She shares practical ways to create stability, reduce emotional damage, and protect children from being pulled into adult conflict.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why frequent transitions between homes can destabilize children
How to tell children about a divorce without overwhelming them
Why parents must avoid oversharing, badmouthing, and using children as messengers
How a parent’s emotional regulation affects a child’s ability to cope
Why flexibility, sacrifice, and stability matter more than rigid ideas of fairness
If you’re divorced, considering divorce, or trying to help your child adjust to a family breakup, this episode is for you.
