Published: Dec. 19, 2022, 9 a.m.

If conflict resolution were easy, North and South Korea would no longer be at war, Princes Harry and William would be enjoying tea time together, and videos of irate plane passengers losing their God damn marbles would no longer fill our TikTok feeds. But we all know that resolving or letting go of hot blooded arguments is no easy task. Enter licensed marriage and family therapist Diane Dierks with Dr. Rick Voyles, the CEO of the Center of Dispute Solutions, and their fabulously insightful podcast \\u201cCo-Parent Dilemmas,\\u201d which aims to provide practical solutions to families struggling with co-parenting.\\xa0

We\\u2019re lucky to have these two experienced smarties on the show with us to discuss a specific and controversial topic: what some refer to as \\u201cthe alienating parent,\\u201d which relates heavily to one of our favorite topics on this show (although least favorite things in like, \\u201creal life\\u201d), the cult of one. Now, the National Center for State Courts defines parental alienation as \\u201ca strategy whereby one parent intentionally displays to the child unjustified negativity aimed at the other parent.\\u201d But why has the term brought up some of that good ol\\u2019 conflict we mentioned amongst clinicians today, dividing those who use the term and those who refuse to? And what effects does it have on the children themselves? Tune in and learn with us\\u2026or we\\u2019re going to have our own conflict to resolve!
