Does Your Child Really Need Therapy After Divorce? 🎙️

Dr. Vanessa Lapointe has a perspective on therapy for young children that may surprise some parents.

Rather than automatically putting a young child into therapy, she explains why she often believes the parent may be the person who needs support first.

The idea is simple: children look to their parents as their “big people” and guideposts. Helping the parent become steadier can ultimately give the child what they need most.

It's a nuanced perspective, but an important one.

Can Violent People Really Change? How Behaviour Can Be Relearned 🎙️

Can someone who has been violent actually change?

Jas Hundal explains how she works with people who have used violence to understand their behaviour, manage anger, and develop healthier ways of coping.

Changing behaviour requires more than simply telling someone to stop. It requires understanding the patterns behind the behaviour and learning new ways to respond.

What Is Trauma Bonding? The Roller Coaster Effect Explained 🎙️

What exactly is trauma bonding, and why can it make an unhealthy relationship so difficult to leave?

Jas Hundal uses a roller coaster analogy to explain how repeated highs and lows can become a familiar emotional pattern, making the cycle itself feel normal.

The highs can create anticipation and excitement, while the lows become something a person learns to expect and endure.

Your Kids Don’t Need You to Be a Perfect Family 🎙️

After divorce, parents often feel pressure to make everything look as normal as possible for their children.

But Dr. Vanessa Lapointe says the goal isn't necessarily to recreate the old family structure. It's to create emotional safety and connection within the new one.

Sometimes that means everyone can still have dinner together.

Sometimes it means they absolutely shouldn't.

The question is: what actually helps the child feel safe?

“Will I Lose My Kids If I Divorce?” What Parents Need to Know 🎙️

One of the biggest fears parents can have when considering divorce is: “Will I lose my children?”

Jas Hundal explains why it's important to understand your legal rights before making assumptions about what separation or divorce could mean for your relationship with your children.

If you're facing this situation, speaking with a qualified family lawyer about your specific circumstances is an important first step.

Don't Go Into Divorce From a Place of Rage 🎙️

During his own divorce, Roy Cocciollo says both he and his former wife were operating from an extremely negative emotional place.

Looking back, he believes one of the most important things you can do is examine the mindset you're bringing into the process.

When we're operating from hurt, anger, or what Roy describes as “wounded little boy” energy, our decisions can become reactions.

Finding a different perspective doesn't mean ignoring what happened.
It means deciding how you want to move forward.

Don't Minimize an Unhealthy Relationship 🎙️

Sometimes we minimize what's happening in a relationship because acknowledging the reality can feel overwhelming.

Jas Hundal explains why it's important not to dismiss unhealthy behaviour or convince yourself that something isn't serious simply because there are also good moments.

If something doesn't feel right, understanding what you're experiencing is an important first step.
