About this episode

This episode discusses how to protect children's emotional health during divorce with expert Erica Komisar.

Divorce is often talked about as a legal process or a decision between two adults. This week’s episode shifts the focus to your child’s emotional health. My guest, Erica Komisar, is a clinical social worker, psychoanalyst, and parenting expert who has spent decades helping families through divorce. She says that divorce itself isn't what harms children most. It’s the instability, conflict, and disruptions to attachment that surround it. We talk about what supports kids through separation, why certain stages are more vulnerable, and how to focus less on what feels “fair” to the parents and more on what is right for the child. If you’re going through a divorce, or considering one, this conversation will help you think more clearly about what your child needs from you.
