COURSE

Co-Parenting Without Losing Yourself

With Stacey Bennington | Psychotherapist & Coach

Co-parenting is one of the most emotionally complex relationships you will ever navigate. You are no longer partners, but you are permanently connected through the people you love most. Old attachment wounds get activated constantly. Boundaries feel impossible. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, you are trying to protect your children from the very pain you are still processing yourself. In this course you will learn how your attachment style shapes your co-parenting dynamic, how to regulate yourself in the hardest moments, how to set boundaries that actually hold, and what it looks like to build a co-parenting relationship that genuinely puts your children first without losing yourself in the process.

Lesson 1

How Your Attachment Style Shows Up In Co-Parenting

Your attachment style does not disappear when a romantic relationship ends. It follows you directly into the co-parenting relationship, shaping how you communicate, how you handle conflict, and how activated you get when things do not go as planned. This lesson maps attachment patterns onto co-parenting dynamics so you can start to see your own patterns more clearly.

Lesson 2

Regulating Yourself In The Hardest Moments

Co-parenting conflict activates the nervous system fast and hard. This lesson gives you practical body-based tools for regulating yourself in real time so you can respond from your values rather than react from your wounds.

Lesson 3

Boundaries In Co-Parenting

Co-parenting boundaries are some of the hardest boundaries to set and hold because they involve your children, your emotions, and a person you cannot simply walk away from. This lesson reframes what boundaries actually mean in a co-parenting context and gives you a practical framework for identifying and holding them.

Lesson 4

Protecting Your Children Without Losing Yourself

Children need to be protected from adult conflict, but protection does not mean self-erasure. This lesson explores how to show up fully for your children through a co-parenting transition without abandoning your own healing in the process.

Lesson 5

Building A Co-Parenting Relationship That Actually Works

Not every co-parenting relationship will be warm or close, and that is okay. What matters is that it is functional, child-focused, and sustainable. This final lesson explores what a genuinely workable co-parenting relationship looks like and how to move toward it regardless of where things are right now.
