Our Whole Childhood with Patrick Teahan Estranged Parents, This Is For You
While this episode is directed at parents who are struggling to understand why their children have gone low or no contact, I think many of you—especially those who have lived through painful or invalidating family experiences—may find it deeply resonant.
In it, I speak directly to estranged parents about: Seven of the most common blind spots I’ve seen in 15+ years of working with childhood trauma.
Why insight without accountability is never enough.
The disconnect between intention and impact.
What real reconciliation actually requires.
If you’ve ever felt like your parent didn’t—or couldn’t—see the truth of your experience… this may feel like someone finally saying it out loud.
And no, I don’t recommend sending it to your parents.
But I do hope it brings you some clarity, validation, or even peace.
