This Month's Program
High Conflict Divorce
presented by Janet Price and Holly Gustlin
High Conflict Personalities
How to Identify an HCP
If 90% of people would not react this way to the situation, then you likely are dealing with an HCP. HCP’s make up approximately 15% of the U.S. population.
HCP’s tend to have these characteristics:
1. Unmanaged emotions
2. A preoccupation with blaming others
3. Splitting – all or nothing thinking (i.e., You are all bad and I am all good)
4. Extremes of behavior
5. They often lie or exaggerate
Tools to help deal with HCP’s
Handle a crisis with CARS CONNECTING with empathy, attention, and respect ANALYZING alternatives or choices RESPONDING to misinformation SETTING LIMITS on inappropriate behavior
E.A.R.
Empathy - genuinely connect to their pain and express empathy
Attention - let them know you care by listening and giving active feedback (i.e. it must feel horrible to be in this situation.)
Respect - Avoid dismissing them as a “crazy person”. They may be acting crazy in the moment, but if you signal to them that you don’t respect their pain, they are likely to turn on you and make you their Target of Blame.
An EAR statement usually calms down the high conflict person right away, at least long enough to use their problem-solving skills for a while. It soothes the high conflict person’s unconscious defenses enough to calm their fear of you and allows them to see you as less of an enemy and more of an ally in solving an objective problem.
