Navigating the world of coparenting can be a challenging and emotionally draining experience, particularly in high-conflict situations where communication often breaks down. To help parents facing these struggles, Dr. Ramani Durvasula, a renowned psychologist specializing in high-conflict relationships and narcissism, has partnered with BestInterest, an AI-powered app designed to make coparenting more peaceful and effective.
Dr. Durvasula has spent years helping individuals manage difficult relationships, and she recognizes the unique challenges that coparents face. “As a psychologist specializing in high-conflict relationships, I’ve seen firsthand the devastating impact that toxic communication can have on families,” she explains. Dr. Durvasula believes that BestInterest offers a modern solution to these challenges: “BestInterest’s innovative approach to managing coparenting communication is nothing short of revolutionary.”
BestInterest’s core feature is its AI-powered messaging tool, which filters out harmful or emotionally charged content from messages between coparents. This filtering allows parents to focus on what truly matters—their child’s well-being—without being distracted by the stress and negativity that can accompany difficult conversations. “By filtering out harmful messages, BestInterest helps protect parents’ mental health, allows them to stay present, and creates a more supportive environment for children,” Dr. Durvasula says.
The app also provides real-time feedback on how to improve communication, offering practical, child-centered guidance that can help parents navigate emotionally challenging moments. Dr. Durvasula emphasizes the importance of this feature: “BestInterest is a tool that can help any coparent get real-time feedback on optimal child-centered communication. Sometimes the overwhelm gets the best of anyone in these situations, and BestInterest is a chance to slow down and communicate in the healthiest way possible.”
For parents who feel isolated or overwhelmed by constant conflict, BestInterest offers a sense of relief and support. “Feeling isolated or unheard is a common experience for coparents dealing with high-conflict situations,” Dr. Durvasula notes. “BestInterest provides a safe and supportive space for communication, helping to alleviate feelings of loneliness and frustration.”
In addition to filtering and coaching, BestInterest provides tools like the Coparent Journal, which allows users to document interactions, keep records, and share reports with trusted professionals such as therapists or attorneys if necessary. These features give coparents the structure they need to manage communication effectively while protecting their emotional well-being.
Dr. Durvasula’s partnership with BestInterest signals her commitment to providing practical tools for parents caught in high-conflict dynamics. For those who feel trapped in cycles of negative communication, the app offers a path to healthier, more productive interactions.
“BestInterest is a valuable tool for anyone struggling to navigate these challenging situations,” Dr. Durvasula says. With its AI-driven technology, BestInterest offers coparents a lifeline, helping them maintain healthier communication patterns, reduce conflict, and create a more peaceful environment for their children.
