51: Is "Therapy Culture" Really to Blame for Estrangement & Child Free Adults?

In this episode, we discuss our thoughts on a recent NYT article claiming a link between therapy culture and childlessness.In conversation, we explore:* Why the article misses the mark by focusing on "therapy culture" rather than addressing the real accountability crisis* The problematic suggestion that having children would fix estranged relationships with parents* How simple acknowledgment—not even apologies—is often all adult children are asking for* The critical communication skills many parents are missing that could prevent estrangement* The difference between explaining your perspective and invalidating someone's experience* What we really owe each other: listening, compassion, and willingness to take accountabilityWE ARE NOW ON SUBSTACK with bonus episodes, pep talks, episodes guides, and so much more!
