Huntsville poet Ginny Gilbert offers a look at the future if we're not mindful of our actions now.

Virginia Gilbert is a licensed marriage and family therapists serving clients in North Carolina and California. She specializes in helping people go through high conflict divorce, relationship problems with their partner and attachment trauma. In this episode, Virgina and I have a conversation about high conflict couples including high conflict divorce and ways to manage this dynamic. High conflict couples have a lot of intense, out-of-control, hurtful fights. Usual the fights are complicated, twisty, blaming, and contemptuous. The fighting also escalates quickly and both people say and do harmful things during conflict. “High-conflict individuals aren't bad people; they just have poor strategies for getting their needs met, which makes them really tough to deal with “ - Virginia Gilbert Related podcasts: Aftermath of a Fight of a Regrettable Incident Control Issues Understanding the Shame Cycle Allowing Influence from Your Partner Emotional Regulation Connect with Corey Costanzo: Still Point Wellness Still Point Wellness on Instagram Still Point Wellness on Facebook Still Point Wellness on Pinterest Corey Costanzo on LinkedIn Email: stillpoint@stillpointwell.com Let's Talk About It!

Guest preacher, Virginia Gilbert, is speaking about what happens after Holy Week ends? Is the season over? What do we do now? Listen to this sermon and hear what she has to say about figuring out what happens next.

High conflict personalities drive high conflict divorces. If you have been married to and are divorcing this type of personality, today's show helps you to understand the traits common to this personality type. You will begin to understand your spouse's inability to manage his/her emotions, their black and white thinking, extreme behaviors and tendency to blame are common to his/her personality and not about you. Our guest expert, Virginia Gilbert is a family and marriage therapist. She also sheds light on your part in the unhealthy dance of high conflict divorce. Most partners of high conflict personalities are caregivers or codependents, an equally unhealthy role in the relationship dynamic. We discuss the tendency of the codependent to want to change the HCP, keep the peace, be triggered and reactive and take the HCP's behavior personally. Virginia speaks to the trauma of being married to such a personality and the impact it has on your nervous system and therefore your behavior. Learning to trust yourself, put your needs first and heal your broken sense of self are a few of the topics covered in today's conversation. The good news is your high conflict divorce can be a catalyst to focus on yourself, develop healthy perspectives and behaviors, heal and become empowered and renewed.

I had an amazing discussion with a licensed marriage and family therapist and author of the book "Transcending High Conflict Divorce: How to Disengage with your Ex and Find your Power" where she shared her story of transcending from an "apocalyptic" divorce into an amicable one, discussed the roots and characteristics of a high conflict personality, gave us advice on all the things that we can do to manage and heal from it and discussed the importance of having spiritual values and a mission statement to gain your power and your life back!

With a hard out time, we don't waste time talking with Virginia Gilbert, MFT, about the underlying issues of communication, such as attachment style and how we manage emotions, being interdependent (not codependent), taking out the competition (it's not about who's right or wrong), being a team rather than opponents, Attachment Theory, Imago Theory, having a mindfulness practice and coping skills, learning not to trigger-talk, listening and being heard, building trust and goodwill, looking at the health of the relationship, understanding that it's not just your partner who could improve/change (hint: you could, too), signs that you're heading in the right direction in recovering trust after it's been broken, and how to know when it's really time to end the relationship.You can find Virginia at VirginiaGilbertMFT.com, on Twitter and Instagram.

Virginia Gilbert, LMFT, shares that the best approach to getting to the other side of a high-conflict divorce is to view divorce as a developmental task that you have to master, much like adolescence. The key is moving from blame to accountability, such that you take responsibility for the things you can control—and only those things! Virginia learned these lessons not only through her work as a licensed marriage and family therapist, but also through her personal experience going through a high-conflict, apocalyptic divorce.   Find Virginia at virginiagilbertmft.com, or on Instagram @vgilbertmft. Her book, Transcending High-Conflict Divorce: How to Disengage from Your Ex and Find Your Power, can be found on Amazon.

Liz thinks using theatre and drama for social good is very good indeed.“Written by award winning screenwriter Regina Moriarty and directed by Virginia Gilbert, the show is a thought-provoking journey, finding humour in the darkness whilst hitting home the impact of homelessness in the UK.“Baby, It's Cold Outside was developed by Duck Soup Films, in association with Crisis.

This episode was recorded in London. Virginia Gilbert is an award winning author and filmmaker.  She is currently premiering her new film 'A long way from home' which she wrote and directed at film festivals all over the world. This conversation was recorded immediately following her showing of this new film at the Dublin film festival. I met Virginia many years ago when I worked with her husband, Keith Farnan at the Laughter Lounge in Dublin. Since then they have become close friends. I had been friends with Virginia for several years before I found out that her father was acclaimed filmmaker Brian Gilbert who made what I consider the greatest film about Oscar Wilde ever made with Stephen Fry in the lead role. Virginia was a young adult helping her father on the set in Dublin and this experience inspired her to go to Trinity University in Dublin the same as Oscar. In this conversation we talk about the joys and sorrows of the film making process, her secret for inspiration when she is writing and how to embrace the spirit of Oscar Wilde. This episode is the embodiment of girl power because Virginia Gilbert kicks so much ass in her world and inspires me how she takes her creations of books and turns them into films. She is one of my favorite people to mentally joust with and to talk with about everything under the sun. It is my pleasure to present to you now the one and only Virginia Gilbert.
