(My first-hand experience in divorce/custody with a covert narcissist don't hurt either.) With a strong understanding of trauma, predictable patterns of abuse, and strategies to deal with such personalities in a legal setting, I strive to help clients find their voice, recover their agency, and come out the other side of divorce ready to start a new life for themselves.  ______________________________________________________________About Your HostSenna Scott is a Sovereignty Empowerment Coach and Intuitive Artist devoted to helping women reclaim their creativity, authentic expression, and inner authority.
