Virginia Gilbert is a licensed marriage and family therapist serving clients in North Carolina and California. She specializes in helping people go through high conflict divorce, relationship problems with their partner and attachment trauma.
In this episode, Virgina and I have a conversation about high conflict couples including high conflict divorce and ways to manage this dynamic. High conflict couples have a lot of intense, out-of-control, hurtful fights. Usually the fights are complicated, twisty, blaming, and contemptuous. The fighting also escalates quickly and both people say and do harmful things during conflict.
“High-conflict individuals aren’t bad people; they just have poor strategies for getting their needs met, which makes them really tough to deal with “
