On this episode of The Rewrite, I’m joined by Erica Komisar—psychoanalyst, parent coach, and author of The Parent’s Guide to Divorce.
At a time when divorce is often framed as a fresh start for adults, Erica brings the focus back to what matters most: our children.
With over 30 years of clinical experience, she shares a powerful truth—divorce itself isn’t what harms children. It’s chronic conflict, instability, and disrupted attachment that leave lasting effects.
In this conversation, we talk about:
• How to protect your child’s emotional well-being during divorce
• The importance of attachment and feeling safe
• Common mistakes parents don’t realize they’re making
• How to raise resilient, emotionally secure children through change
• Her Book: A Parent’s Guide To Divorce
This episode is a must-listen for any parent navigating separation and wanting to do it with intention, awareness, and care.
