High Conflict People explores the five types of people who can ruin your life—people with high conflict personalities and how they weave themselves into our lives in romance, at work, next door, at school, places of worship, and just about everywhere, causing chaos, exhaustion, and dread for everyone else. They are the most difficult of difficult people — some would say they’re toxic. Without them, tv shows, movies, and the news would be boring, but who wants to live that way in your own life! Have you ever wanted to know what drives them to act this way? In the It’s All Your Fault podcast, we’ll take you behind the scenes to understand what’s happening in the brain and illuminates why we pick HCPs as life partners, why we hire them, and how we can handle interactions and relationships with them. We break down everything you ever wanted to know about people with the 5 high conflict personality types: narcissistic, borderline, histrionic, antisocial/sociopath, and paranoid. And we’ll give you tips on how to spot them and how to deal with them.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-s-all-your-fault-high-conflict-people-5633630"},"episode":{"title":"When Addiction Meets Custody: Building a Plan That Holds, Part 2","slug":"when-addiction-meets-custody-building-a-plan-that-holds-part-2","published_at":"2026-04-30T10:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-s-all-your-fault-high-conflict-people-5633630/when-addiction-meets-custody-building-a-plan-that-holds-part-2","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/it-s-all-your-fault-high-conflict-people-5633630","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/bab56721","audio_url":"https://op3.dev/e/media.transistor.fm/bab56721/cfa85eb0.mp3","summary":"When addiction and high conflict personality traits both show up in a custody case, the usual advice stops working. Vague parenting plans become weapons. Standard timelines get exploited. Courts aren't designed to manage what's happening daily between two households—and the divorce itself is often just the beginning. Bill Eddy, LCSW, JD, and Megan Hunter, MBA, co-founders of the High Conflict Institute, lay out what actually works: parenting plans built with iron-clad specificity, consequences written into agreements before problems happen, relapse protocols, objective safety safeguards for young children, and the assertive court strategy Bill describes as the most effective approach—not aggressive, not passive, but steady and information-forward.
