Navigating Parental Alienation
Navigate Successfully Through Your Experience of Being Alienated as a Parent
"My podcast is the guidebook I was looking for two decades ago when I was going through being alienated as a parent and no one understood what was happening to my family. I learned what works, what doesn’t, and why."
If you know or suspect that your children are being alienated from you, NAVIGATING PARENTAL ALIENATION is for you. And it's for anyone who is trying to help or support someone dealing with parental alienation.
And COMING SOON: NAVIGATING PARENTAL ALIENATION - THE ONLINE COURSE launching in June 2024. It's a step by step guide to understanding and then defeating parental alienation.
"My course guides parents through their pain to release their trauma, build their resilience and learn compassionate communication that reconnects them with their children."
Jacqueline Rourke is a former targeted parent who is using her skills as an an award-winning broadcast journalist to help other targeted parents regain their sanity and reconnect with their alienated children. She shares everything she learned while suffering through alienation to be able to come out the other side and reconnect fully with her children.
In this podcast, Jacqueline interviews parents who are alienated from their children, as well as mental health clinicians, legal professionals, researchers and other experts who have something helpful and meaningful to share.
If you are alienated from your children, YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Hearing from other parents about their experience will help you understand what may be going on in your situation. And Jacqueline's insight into what works and what doesn't will empower you to act with confidence as you work to reconnect with your alienated children.
Jacqueline is on a mission to raise public awareness about parental alienation, and to inform legal and mental health professionals about it — most of whom have no training and little awareness about this tragically common phenomenon.
“It is time to eliminate parental alienation.”

Episode 3 - How TRUST strengthens the parent-child bond & teaches honesty, with Prof Kang Lee
What did you think about our podcast?
How can a parent who is alienated from their children strengthen the BOND they have with those children? By letting the kids know they TRUST them.
Kids want to be trusted. They are wired to respond to trust. Being trusted makes them feel good about themselves, and about the person who trusts them. Trust strengthens their BOND with the parent who trusts them. And -- children as young as 12 months start figuring out who they CAN and who they CAN'T TRUST.
That is what Professor Kang Lee, an expert in the study of lying and cheating, and his colleagues found after extensive research. He says using positive reinforcement like TRUST — instead of negative reinforcement , like threats - encourages kids to be honest, and cooperate. And more importantly, it develops a bond between parents and their children.
Prof. Lee is a global expert on the topic of deception, and has studied lying and cheating for the past 30 years. He is in the Department of Applied Psychology and Human Development at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto. He is the Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Moral Development and Developmental Neuroscience.
He says the trend of “helicopter parenting” so common among alienating parents, actually tells children they are not trusted and they lose self-efficacy.
Finally, hear what he says about whether people can ever accurately tell when a person is lying to us……and that includes if JUDGES are able to detect when someone is lying to them. This is critical information for alienated parents who turn to the justice system for help.
