The Magic of Parenting Is in the Repair

1. Cutting off contact with family is on a dramatic rise – how to know if there’s hope of repair, or if self-preservation requires distance.  

2. How to have present, productive conversations with our parents about the past.  

3. Why we grieve the loss of a family member even if we know it’s healthiest to cut them out. 

4. Attachment styles, emotional honesty, and the difference between forgiveness and repair. 

5. What to do and say – and what NOT to say – when attempting to reconnect with an estranged loved one.
