Why Divorce is "Collateral Damage" for Kids | Dr. John Berrens (Season 2, Ep 46)

Описание: The most downloaded guest of Season 1 is BACK!

We are kicking off Season 2, Episode 46 with a powerhouse return from Dr. John Berrens, whose first appearance was our #1 top-performing episode of last year. As a PhD-level School Psychologist and Counselor, Dr. Berrens has spent decades listening to the children of divorce. In this episode, we move past the cliché that "kids are resilient" to look at the real psychological "collateral damage" of separation. If you are worried your divorce is "setting your kids up for war," this is the intervention you need.

Episode Highlights:

The Resilience Myth – Why “getting through it” doesn’t mean your child isn’t suffering.

The “War” Dynamic – How high-conflict divorces create lasting collateral damage.

Red Flag Behaviors – From “clinging” to “rebelling,” how to spot when your child is struggling.

Navigating the “Jerk” Ex – How to talk to your kids with integrity when your ex-partner is difficult.

The Social Shift – Why older children often change their friend groups during a family split.

The Loneliness Epidemic – Why so many children feel they are the “only ones” going through a divorce.

Follow the Just Separated journey as we kick off a powerful Season 2!
