Dad Starting Over

Stuck in a divorce or custody fight that never seems to end? Brook Olsen has spent 25 years helping parents get out of high-conflict divorces, and his main point is simple: every time you engage, you keep the fight going.
 
Brook is the founder of the High Conflict Diversion Program and host of the High Conflict Co-Parenting Podcast. He went through a high-conflict divorce himself. We talk about:
 
- What makes a divorce "high conflict," and why custody drives most of it
- Why gray rocking is only step one, and Brook's 3 stages of disengagement
- "Don't just do something, sit there": calming your nervous system before you act
- Borderline, narcissism and attachment, and why your ex probably can't change
- Whether family court is biased against men, and how to change how the judge sees you
- Why the Nice Guy swings to "me, me, me," and how to set boundaries without being aggressive
- Why you should wait before dating again (Brook says 24 months)
- What a high-conflict divorce really costs, and where to start if you're early in it

What is Dad Starting Over?

Welcome to the Dad Starting Over podcast! "Starting Over" means different things to different people. It could be that you're newly divorced and starting over fresh with a new life. It could be that you're still married and wanting to hit the reset button and finally do things right within your marriage. Whatever your story may be, you're in the right place.
