This chapter examines the multifaceted factors contributing to family estrangement, from severe abuse to dynamics like divorce and new family members. It also delves into the role of therapy in these relationships, discussing how some modern approaches may foster estrangement by casting parents in a negative light.
I am so thrilled to have family estrangement expert Dr. Joshua Coleman on the show. I had the pleasure of meeting him on the set of a TV show we were invited to do and on my way there, I listened to his book, Rules of Estrangement, and I think you'll love it.
I invited Dr. Coleman on to talk further about it because cutting contact with parents is something many of you have painfully decided to do, and Dr. Coleman shares his wisdom *and* personal experience with us here.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
