Spent $600 on a therapist who specialized in high-conflict divorce

I was dead set against therapy, thought it was just paying someone to nod at me. But she taught me specific scripts for dealing with my ex's lawyer and it saved me thousands in legal fees. Anyone else find a niche specialist that actually paid for itself?

That "saved me thousands in legal fees" part really hit home for me. I went through a similar mess a few years back and the legal costs were honestly just crushing. It sounds like you found someone who actually understood the real world side of things, not just the textbook stuff. So many therapists mean well but have no clue how to handle aggressive lawyers or court deadlines. I wish I had known to look for that kind of specialty back then. You made a smart call.

Did you ever come across those "forensic psychologist" types, the ones who specialize in court stuff? I swear I heard somewhere that they're basically a secret weapon for custody battles and the like, really cuts through the BS.
