Episode 301: The Science and Art of Engagement with Author Rich Carr
In this episode Brook has guest Rich Carr author of Surprised: The Science and Art of Engagement. Rich brings a bright and engaging look at how we as humans respond or react to an outside stimulus and in understanding the workings of the various part of the brain dictate how you will engage in or disengage with that stimulus. In high conflict or for that matter any relational interaction, getting to the solution with the least amount of conflict and the optimal exploration is the goal. Rich goes into how you can install intention and preprogram action to reduce the reactivity in your system and access the parts of the brain that problem solve. Enjoy!!!

Episode 300: Disasterous Divorce To Priceless Relationship With Your Kids with Derrick Chevalier
In this episode Brook and his guest Derrick Chevalier discuss in depth the interconnection between negotiation in divorce and custody and first understanding what is on the playing field and who the players are first, before setting sail in the process. Getting yourself settled and using your unique knowledge of the situation in order to knit together the solution and the proper delivery system ie: Attorney, Mediator and such. By doing so getting to the center of the issues, such as finances and custody can be a much easier path and resulting in better outcomes become more available and ultimately less costly both emotionally and financially. This is a great conversation. Enjoy!! Derrick can be contacted though his website at https://ddtpr.com/ Want to hear the full episode?

Episode 233 The Mind Trap of the Notion of Fair
In this episode Brook and Michelle discuss the conflict mind trap the parents find themselves in when they try to look at the parenting conflicts through the lens of Fairness. The differing perspective and the cognitive dissonance of one or both of the parents involved in the conflict creates an arena of conflict because neither one of the parents sees the situation the same. I therefore becomes important to step back and evaluate what is truly important for the child and having as a part of the inquiry the notion that the continuation of the argument has a high impact on the child as well.

Episode 230 Emotional Blackmail, A Double Bind Conversation Leading From Entitlement to Weaponization
In this episode Brook and Tony discuss how children often use Emotional Blackmail and put their parents in areas of discomfort to get what the want. This is especially prevalent during parental discourse and conflict. The parent doesn't want to make the child feel uncomfortable during times of change and allow for things they might not normally. This can lead to the Child's sense of Entitlement and the development of strong narcissistic traits later in life. How parents get comfortable with the uncomfortable feelings for both themselves and their children is an important skillset to develop. Join "The Disengagement Zone" Membership!
