On today’s episode, Dr. Shefali sits down with clinical social worker and author Erica Komisar to talk about one of the most difficult experiences a family can face: divorce. Drawing from decades of experience working with children and families, Erica explains how attachment, anxiety, depression, and early childhood experiences can shape a child’s emotional well being. She also shares why the parent child relationship becomes even more important during a divorce. Inspired by the many families she has helped, Erica wrote The Parent’s Guide to Divorce to give parents the tools to navigate separation in a healthier way while protecting their children’s mental health. Whether you are going through a divorce or supporting someone who is, this episode offers thoughtful advice on helping children feel safe, secure, and supported during a difficult time.
