For parents going through divorce or separation who’ll do anything to see their children thrive and be resilient

The Ultimate
Kid-Centric Divorce

Your closest alternative to 
expensive in-office therapy with the 
same results

(without tricks, pseudo-science, or esoteric out-there approaches)

“I’m forced to regularly communicate with a person I no longer recognize, respect, or tolerate.
I just don’t know how.”

And why would you — separation and divorce as a parent are not something you ever prepare for. 

Whether you’re in Vancouver or Vienna, it’s emotionally and financially draining and the problems are the same.

In fact, separation:

The worst part?

No one's helping.

Your nearest and dearest tried and you've already been through free counseling and support available to you… with the eye-watering $500 hourly legal fees, mediator costs, and everything else that feels like throwing money into a black hole… there is only so much you can afford right now.

Plus, let’s face it. Several months of therapy at $200-$300 per session could mount up to several thousands of dollars.

You have enough pressure as it is. 

… yet, with a difficult ex, you’re just running around in exhausting circles.

permeates every aspect of life — your work, the relationships around you and your physical wellbeing 

feels like you’re being swallowed up by a tornado and spat out in pieces 

has you juggling the tasks that come with your new reality. Pushing yourself to the limit. Trying to uphold normality the kids are used to.

You know this will take time. 
Some of it will be ugly. 

But you'll try everything.
For the sake of the kids. 

You wake up every morning with the best intentions. 

Today has to be better. 

But even before you can take a single sip of your first coffee of the day, the little blue light on your phone is already blinking, lighting up the dark room. 

Please... not another nasty message. It’s not even 7 am yet. 

Your heart races and you feel a strange and unsettling sensation in the pit of your stomach as you skim the lines with your eyes still half shut — some angry rant about why you said nothing about your daughter’s suspected tonsillitis and a doctor’s appointment. 

Why should I? I’m the one who did nothing wrong and left to pick up the pieces!

Or should you have? You really don’t know anymore.

So you throw your feet out of bed and fix the kids a healthy breakfast, get them in the car and get to work before your childless co-worker makes another catty remark about how they’ve never been late since the day they started working there back in 1995...

Something has to change. This isn’t going to end well for anyone. 

If only someone told you what to do exactly and reassured you that your divorce doesn’t mean you’re messing up your kids and setting up generations of unhappiness.

You are moving in the right direction...

Urgent emails about re-scheduled swim practices go unanswered. Co-parenting requests about screen-time get ignored. Too many angry calls and tears lately. 

It’s all wearing you down and you’re not sure if you’ve got what it takes to go through this. 

Is this what it’s like for everyone with kids to go through divorce? Is there even a different way to do this?

 You’re sure… you’ve SEEN happy co-parenting arrangements — it’s not exclusive to Oprah’s celeb guests. 

Those kids ARE thriving and act resilient... seemingly effortlessly as they’re picked up from school each week by a different smiling parent. 

Those every-day-looking parents don’t appear to live with the constant stress of worrying about how to save their kids from high-risk behaviors ten years from now. 

How is that possible? How do those people not feel inadequate, worried and a failure?

... except so painfully slowly. Taking one step forward and three steps back.

Parents going through a divorce don't have to fight fire with fire every single day
(nor do you have to compromise your feelings)

All you want is anxiety-free pickups and drop-offs. To act indifferent toward your situation and see a glimpse of hope for the future. Your family to stop throwing obstacles in your way when you’ve made progress. 

And to never again have to experience this feeling of being stabbed in the heart every time you speak to your ex.  

You can remove yourself from toxic situations and start thriving post-separation

“I love these two. They tell it how it is. At the same time, they give me hope that I can really change for the sake of my kids.” — Kelly R.

 Introducing:

You’ll feel hopeful and confident, equipped with the tools for control. You’ll be communicating with your ex without angry bursts, slamming doors and smashing phones against the floor, and soon feel indifferent toward them. 

You’ll speak the right words to your children in the right tone. You’ll stop being angry and resentful — finally, you can get back to being your old, interesting self (that’s been missed by many around you).

"I'll do anything for my kids.

But if you only knew how difficult my ex is"

Hello 

Dr. Carla Fry and Dr. Lisa Ferrari here. 

The Dr. F’s. We’ve worked as clinical psychologists in our Vancouver clinic since 2001 where we’ve listened to hundreds of personal stories of separating parents and their children. 

We offer you the exact same expertise online that we offer to our in-person patients at our Vancouver Clinic, the students, readers and viewers who have already benefited from therapy, learning coping skills, knowledge and inspiration to positively change.

 Wherever you are on your separation journey, we’ll not only help you get through it but equip you with the knowledge and the tools to thrive in the end. 

We don’t advocate drawn-out, agonizing long calls with the exes to “talk things through.” Nor esoteric “out-there” questionable methods. 

Just nailing civil communication with your ex with a focus on the kids. 

We've spent the last twenty years talking to parents and children in similar emotionally charged and hopeless situations like yours — and singled out the common threads and activities that concern them the most before, during and post-divorce. 

We’re not holding anything back from you. 

All we know and how it can help you is inside the Ultimate Kid-Centric Divorce Course.

We probably do

Are you ready to 
put a stop to the daily dose of 
madness, anger and resentment?

Get professional help that is cost effective, delivers immediate results and, most importantly, guarantees your child comes out of this difficult time happy and well-adjusted 

(regardless of where in the world you live) 

(and bargaining with yourself and others about your dire situation)

 With the Ultimate Kid-Centric Divorce, you'll...

When you're not sure what works best, you can’t possibly know where to direct your energy or even how to say things. Our Clinically Happy method shows you exactly how to plan your days, what needs to stay, what needs to go and how to communicate all that to your kids and ex.

Ensure your kids don't just survive your separation

Control the things that are within your control
(leave the ones that aren’t & focus on your kids — they matter most)

You’d love to control everything, including what goes on in the other household. But you’ll find better success and feel more in control when you know what’s possible and what isn’t. With our kid-centric divorce approach, you’ll keep the focus on yourself and the kids and not what’s going on with your ex.

Build generations of happiness
(that's what happens when you put your kids first)

Everything you do today has a ripple effect on those around you — including mental health and tendencies for high-risk behaviors later in life. Equip your children with resilience and the ability to navigate through changes in life or whenever they need to adjust to a new reality. 

Communicate with ease
(any other way is just madness)

Angry and resentful words don’t serve any situation. Still, it’s hard not to end up wanting to scream or slam doors during weekend visits, pickups or drop-offs. The Ultimate Kid-Centric Divorce gives you step-by-step guidance on what to say to your ex and kids — and how — for every major situation.

"There is something special about how this dynamic duo breaks down what I need to do to help my kids." — Jenn P
