Co-parenting therapy teaches parents to work together even if they are no longer partners.
When 39-year-old Perth woman Beth and her husband separated in November 2021 due to his emotional affair with another woman, the impact and repercussions of the split were also experienced by their two children, aged nine and six.
After this, appointments are usually attended by both parents, where setting and prioritising goals for the couple, setting and establishing boundaries, and methods and boundaries around communication post-split are worked on.“Children bring up issues for the couple that they need to resolve in the child’s best interests,” says Elisabeth Shaw, CEO of Relationships Australia NSW.
Communication is probably one of the big sticking points in navigating a separation with children, adds Green-Arndt. “People don’t know how they want to communicate, and communication causes a lot of stress.” For North Sydney-based Daniel and Stephanie, who separated in 2022 due to irreconcilable differences, opposing parenting styles created conflict and hampered their ability to co-parent effectively.
Broaching co-parenting therapy with your ex isn’t always straightforward, says Green-Arndt, who suggests focusing on your child, and avoiding blame throughout the process.
