Guest Biography

I’m Dr. Karen Finn and I help people figure out if they should stay in their marriage, if they should decide to divorce, or how to move through divorce and forward with their life. 

Making life decisions like these aren't easy. In fact, they're some of the most difficult you'll ever face. But you have to make a decision because if you don’t, you’re going to stay stuck in exactly the same place you are in today. And I can guess that where you are today isn’t a good place to be.

I know exactly how hard these choices are because I've been there. I struggled for years trying to make my first marriage work. No matter what I tried, things didn’t just get any better. They got worse.

All of my efforts were wasted because I wasn't successful at making my marriage better. And it was heartbreaking. 

After a whole lot of soul searching, I realized that I had to take another path. I couldn't survive and be his wife at the same time. And in the end, the decision helped save me.

My hope for each of my clients, for everyone who purchases one of my products, and for each person who hears my voice or reads my articles is that I can help them save themselves as well.

What is a Hijackal, exactly? 

A person who hijacks relationships–for their own purposes–while scavenging them for power, status, and control.

They make you question your sanity and second-guess yourself constantly. That’s their game…and, they are very good at it!

Every time you think of being near a Hijackal®, you get anxious. Why? Because the main purpose of Hijackal behavior is to win.

Recognizing chronically difficult people requires admitting that they not only like to win, they have to win. Yes, to win…and in all circumstances and at all times. Yes, they will give you the illusion of agreeing with you…but, only when it suits their purposes, or their longer “game.”

Know one? I’m thinking you must because you’ve found yourself here on this page with me. You’re ready to escape the Hijackal Trap.

It might be your partner, ex,  parent,  co-worker, or someone in any organization–family, workplace, government, court, church, community project, board, or association.

We have all had interaction - at some level, at some time - with a Hijackal... whether we knew it or not. They are unavoidable. AND being in a relationship with a Hijackal - whether at home, work or play - requires some insights and knowledge to navigate and keep yourself safe and sane. 

Those are the things we discuss a lot here. Join us.
