Parents whose adult children have cut them off often wonder: How did this happen? Where did I go wrong? What happened to my loving child? Over time, holidays, birthdays, and even the birth of a grandchild may all pass - in silence. But there is hope.
Today’s gal pal is Tina Gilbertson. Tina is a Psychotherapist, Author, Estrangement Consultant, and author of Reconnecting with Your Estranged Adult Child: Practical Tips and Tools to Heal Your Relationship. She cuts through the blame, shame, and guilt on both sides of the broken relationship and offers techniques and tools to parents who have felt powerless. She believes reconciliation is a step-by-step process, but the effort is well worth it. It is never too late to renew relations and experience better-than-ever bonds.
In this episode, we talk about:
- The importance of self-compassion
- How to not feel powerless when there is estrangement in the family
- How early wounding affects our closest relationships
- Encouraging emotional resilience within ourselves
