About Our Co-Parenting Course
Sharyn Green-Arndt talks you through our co-parenting course, Turning Point.
Stabilise Your Current Emotions
Co-parenting is one of the most complex tasks a person can undertake, yet it is often attempted while the brain is in "fight-or-flight" mode. When you are emotionally flooded, the part of your brain responsible for logic and problem-solving goes offline, making even a simple text message feel like a direct threat.
By focusing on stabilisation first, you are reclaiming your ability to lead your family. Stability is the foundation upon which every other co-parenting skill is built; it ensures you have the internal steady ground required to make decisions that serve your children’s best interests rather than reacting to your own pain.
After 34 years working with court-involved families, one thing is clear: parents can’t co-parent well when they’re emotionally flooded. This module helps you stabilise first — because everything improves once you do.
What You’ll Take Away From This Course Module
You will walk away with a "psychological first-aid kit" for high-conflict moments, learning to distinguish between genuine emergencies and emotional noise. This allows you to choose when and how to engage with your co-parent, often breaking the cycle of escalation before it starts.
By gaining control over your nervous system, you become the "calm port in the storm" for your children. You will gain the mental space needed to focus on your family's future and your own well-being, rather than being perpetually dragged back into the grievances of the past.
Parents often feel relief within days. Less panic. More clarity. A sense that they’re back in control — even if nothing else has changed yet.
