Bite Your Tongue: The Podcast Healing Emotional Rifts Between Parents and Adult Children
🌟 A listener wrote to us about Tina Gilbertson, the guest in today's episode. She told us that Tina "saved her life." The pain and guilt that parents go through when estranged from their adult children is unimaginable.
We asked Tina what really is estrangement? Is it a troubled relationship? Is it silence? "No, she said: "It could also be you talk every day. But maybe there's a constant tension, or you're always getting into little conflicts, and sometimes you go apart and have to be apart for a while, and then you come back together." This episode is about building a stronger and less stressful relationship with your adult children And we all need that!
We talk about:
- Understanding the relationship between self-perception and parent-child connection
- Defining estrangement and its various forms
• The importance of addressing emotional distances and insecurities
• Steps to take when facing estrangement: pause, reflect, research, and reach out - Effective methods for navigating difficult conversations
- Resources and support available through the Reconnection Club
- The ongoing journey of healing and self-improvement in parent-child dynamics
