Protect your money when divorcing a sociopath

When you're splitting from a disordered husband or wife, the first thing to understand is that your soon-to-be ex feels absolutely no obligation to be fair. Therefore, you must know ...what to expect and take steps to protect yourself financially when divorcing a sociopath.

The lies and manipulation that you saw in your marriage will continue, and probably escalate. Your marital assets may disappear. Your ex may suddenly claim poverty. You may also discover that he or she has engaged in deception, theft and fraud —with you and your family as the primary target.

You need to know what to expect and how to prepare, so you can protect yourself financially when divorcing a sociopath. If you're considering divorce but haven't yet filed, plan before you make a move. If your divorce is underway and you are shocked by what you've seen so far, educate yourself about the financial games sociopaths play so you can take back your power.

Highlights

Understanding the sociopath's objective: Winning
What should you fight for, and what can you let go?
Issues to expect in mediation and settlement with a sociopath
The historical analysis method of dividing assets
Your divorce decree: The devil is in the details

Someone is creating havoc in your life, and you're beginning to think that he or she has a personality disorder. How do you know for sure? And then what? How ...do you navigate narcissists and other manipulative people?

In this webinar, licensed professional counselor Mandy Friedman explains narcissistic behavior patterns and traits, including how they choose their targets (it's for your strengths, not your weaknesses). Then, she delivers tips and strategies for dealing with narcissists, antisocials, psychopaths and other exploiters.

The best strategy is No Contact — cutting the person out of your life. But sometimes that isn't possible. In those situations, you need other tools, such as putting everything in writing, setting time limits, and more. Learn how to defuse the insanity of disordered behavior and protect your vulnerable self.

Sociopaths cause nonstop stress, and nonstop stress harms your physical health. Your body is in fight, flight or freeze mode all the time, which depletes your hormones and body functions, ...which in turn, weakens your resistance to major illnesses.

No wonder you feel terrible.

In this webinar, Dr. Laura Rubiales, a doctor of naturopathy and acupuncturist, explains recovering your physical health after the sociopath. She describes the risks to your health due to the sociopath, and how to work towards rebuilding your energy, strength and immune system. You'll learn what you should ask of your healthcare professionals, and steps you can take on your own, such as improving your diet and getting enough sleep, to work towards your physical recovery.

The truth is that physical and emotional health are closely related. Physical recovery helps you psychologically and emotionally. Therapy and pleasurable activities help your body return to health. The road to recovery begins by making the decision to put your wellbeing first.

Course description:

As clinicians who come in contact with patients complaining of a wide variety of symptoms every day, you may have worked with victims of narcissistic abuse and not ...
recognized the signs. Victims often don’t know they are suffering from narcissistic abuse and instead reach out for help because they have somatic symptoms. Others feel they are not coping with their own lives and present with multiple psychological issues that are inaccurately diagnosed. They have no idea that a toxic relationship is at the source of their despair.

Narcissistic abuse frequently does not look like domestic violence. It is harder to identify because often there are no obvious signs of abuse. The victims may spend years in a vicious cycle of love bombing, isolation and gaslighting, enduring tremendous loss and psychological destruction before they learn the root of their problem. As a clinician, you may be the first person to ever have the opportunity to name and validate the patients' experiences and get them on the path for help.

Narcissistic abuse is growing in recognition among the psychological healing community, with discussion of the term, “narcissistic victim syndrome” used to describe a cluster of trauma symptoms that are caused by living with someone with narcissistic personality traits.

In this webinar, you will learn the key pattern of narcissistic abuse, common tactics used in narcissistic abuse, how narcissistic abuse affects victims, and how to recognize the signs of narcissistic abuse in your clients.


Highlights

What exactly do we mean by narcissistic abuse?
The narcissistic abuse cycle, and how it differs from the domestic violence cycle
Family dynamics when one parent is narcissistic
Tactics of narcissistic abuse: gaslighting, projection and rage

Take back your throne: Reclaim your power in family court cross-examination

Webinar link:
https://education.lovefraud.com/courses/take-back-your-throne-reclaim-your-power-in-family-court-cross-examination/

If you will be cross-examined by your abuser in family court, you're probably nervous. Apprehensive. Maybe even terrified. You ...
know how you feel when he or she goes after you — you get so upset that your mind blanks out. You can't think and can't act.

Caroline Solo, a family lawyer who is also a survivor, has an analogy for this experience: You're knocked off your throne. Your brain is like a gentle king or queen, accustomed to making rational decisions. But when under attack, the king or queen flees, and the general takes over. The general can only respond in four ways: fight, flight, freeze or friend — none of which will help you in court.

In this webinar, Caroline explains what you can expect during cross-examination and how to prepare for it. She'll describe self-care before your court date, grounding techniques, and five steps for effectively answering questions during your hearing. The goal is to put the king or queen back on the throne so you can think and respond appropriately when it's critical — during your hearing.

Highlights

· How your brain is like a gentle king or queen making rational decisions
· What happens during cross-examination
· How you can prepare for your day in family court
· The importance of knowing your own court documents

By taking care of yourself, and that's exactly what Mandy Friedman, LPCC, teaches you to do in this program, Self-Care for Survivors. You'll learn how to start wherever you are, treat yourself with loving kindness, and give yourself what you need to recover.

The goal is for you to make one profound change, and then a multitude of small changes. The profound change is realizing that yes, you do deserve to take care of yourself. If you're like most survivors, you've been programmed to put yourself last, but now it's time to focus on your own needs. Then you'll learn actionable tips and strategies for implementing a self-care program, and sticking with it.

With these self-care tools, you will be able to change your life, and move forward to the health, peace and wholeness that you deserve.

How to Start Your Recovery from Emotional and Psychological Abuse

How can you start to feel better? You suspect, or are certain, that someone in your life has serious personality disorder. ...
In a way, it's a relief to figure it out — the problem isn't you after all; it's him (or her).

Still, you've endured a lot of abuse. How do you move on?

In this webinar, Mandy Friedman, LPCC, helps you start your recovery. Make no mistake — involvement with an exploiter causes serious psychological and emotional injuries. But with an understanding of what happened, and a commitment to recover, you can rebuild your life.

The first step is to end, or if that's not possible, to manage, contact with the abuser. You'll learn multiple strategies for accomplishing that. Then you'll learn how ongoing deception, gaslighting and betrayal affected you, how to make your own health and wellbeing a priority, and how to choose healthy people and relationships in the future.

Recovery will take time, but it is absolutely attainable. Start with this webinar.

Relationships with sociopaths are highly addictive — Lovefraud explains this over and over again. So how do you overcome your addiction to a sociopath?

Emotions ...
are actually chemicals. You body can become addicted to negative emotions, just like it can become addicted to drugs. Sociopaths seem to instinctively know how to target your emotional vulnerabilities, which releases emotional chemicals, which leads to an addiction to the sociopath.

In this Lovfraud course, you'll learn how to break the cycle. Here's the webinar:
https://education.lovefraud.com/courses/eft-tapping-to-break-your-addiction-to-a-sociopath/

You're jumpy. Your heart races and your body sweats. You have bad dreams and flashbacks — all related to a relationship that has turned abusive. You believe you're suffering from ...post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but there was never one major traumatic incident.

PTSD is usually described as being caused by a shocking, scary or dangerous event, such as a car accident, natural disaster or war. But therapists now recognize that multiple traumatic events of repeated and ongoing abuse can cause the same symptoms. This condition is called complex PTSD (C-PTSD). If you've endured a relationship that was psychologically, emotionally, sexually, physically and/or financially abusive, you may be suffering from C-PTSD.

In this webinar, you'll learn how traumatic experiences may lead to C-PTSD, and typical symptoms of the disorder. Understanding the causes and symptoms will help you to seek appropriate care and avoid misdiagnosis.

If, for whatever reason, you can't go to therapy, you'll also learn how to begin your own recovery program. Self-care is your number one priority. You'll learn to set strong boundaries and the steps you can take to relieve internal tension. After you complete this webinar, you'll know what to do so you can feel better.

Highlights

Patterns of life events that may cause complex PTSD
Typical symptoms of C-PTSD
How C-PTSD affects your brain
How C-PTSD can cause you to accept the unacceptable
Therapeutic techniques for treating C-PTSD

Donna Andersen, author of Lovefraud.com, presents a program called "Sociopaths and Abusive Dating Relationships" to students in a New Jersey high school. The program is based on her book, "Red ...Flags of Love Fraud - 10 signs you're dating a sociopath."

Experts estimate that up to 12 percent of the U.S. population have personality disorders, such as antisocial personality disorder, narcissism and borderline personality disorder. Often, when you meet them, these individuals seem exciting and appealing, but they make lousy relationship partners. But they all use the same tactics and strategies when attempting to hook up. By knowing the warning signs, these relationships are totally avoidable.

The program is available high school and college students. For more information, visit:
