Trauma Informed Mediation

For the practitioner who is already in the work — who has been in difficult rooms, who has had the experience of a session going sideways in ways that standard training did not prepare them for, who has wondered whether what they are seeing is something they should know how to name. I also wrote it for the practitioner who is building their practice and wants to build it on a foundation that takes human complexity seriously from the beginning.

The primary audience is family mediators and dispute resolution practitioners. But the frameworks here are equally relevant for divorce coaches, collaborative lawyers and financial professionals, family therapists working in a consultative role, parenting coordinators, and anyone whose practice puts them alongside families navigating separation.
