Narcissism and the role of Hybrid Mediation (1)

Podcast with Dr Supriya Mckenna and Karin Walker discussing Narcissism and the role of Hybrid Mediation

Claire and Rachel recorded a podcast with divorce lawyer, Karin Walker and Narcissism expert, Dr Supriya McKenna. We discussed why classic, traditional mediation and shuttle mediation might not work well with narcissists and discussed the benefits of using 'Hybrid Mediation' .

The podcast explains how Hybrid Mediation is best used for parties that have legal representation for the duration of the process, and how it is significantly quicker, cheaper and less traumatic than court, which should be avoided where a narcissist is involved.
