Divorcing The Dark Triad; Proving Narcissistic & Emotional Abuse | Reclamation Transformation Ep 8

Cindy Hyde joins Mark to discuss her role as a therapist and whom Mark sends a number of clients to that are dealing with various hot-button issues of today. Such as those dealing with divorce and narcissism, the dark triad of personality disorders, and evaluations needed for divorce court. Learn why this is not just scary terminology, but a really scary situation to those facing it. Cindy Hyde, MA MFT, LPC at Living Strong Counseling (https://livingstrongcounseling.com) in North Dallas, works predominantly with women who have gone through what most people call a toxic relationship, or a narcissistically abusive relationship. She explains that in actuality, what these are called is “pathological love relationships” and that she also works with those facing infidelity in their relationship, as does Mark (being a divorce lawyer). Watch this episode for Part I of "The Dark Triad" on the Reclamation Transformation podcast for an intriguing discussion about what a toxic relationship is specifically, why they’re difficult for courts to identify, and what Cindy explains are the best ways for divorce lawyers to prove personality disorders to the court on behalf of their client and/or teach a judge what they’re looking at, what is really important for the judge to understand, and to really identify with just what the client has had to deal with in being married to a person with one of these disorders.
