I'm chatting with clinical psychologist, Tiffany Rochester, in Perth, Australia. She specializes in coparenting therapy for divorced and separated parents who aim to work together for the betterment of their child(ren). We discuss what coparenting means, the mindset of providers and parents in effective and ineffective coparenting therapy, the role of the legal system, and common themes of emotions that children display. Many parents have described to me that they feel they're coparenting with a narcissist and they would like to improve communication with their coparent. An especially interesting insight I received from this chat is Tiff's conceptualization of parent responsibilities and children responsibilities when it comes to visitations.
