EP247: The Wave Has Parts - sadness in estrangement

Most estranged mothers are moving through their pain as one undifferentiated wave of awful - with no map, no language, and no way to name what's actually inside it. In this episode of The Estranged Heart podcast, Kreed breaks the wave apart. She walks through nine distinct layers that live inside estrangement pain and makes the case that naming each layer isn't wallowing. It's excavation. Because you cannot work with a pain you cannot see the parts of. You can only survive it. And surviving isn't the same as healing.Key TopicsWhy "estrangement" is a container - not a map - and what's actually inside itThe critical difference between shame and guilt, and why it changes everything about the workThe seven layers of fear and how they affect the futureThe role of hope and how to make it consciousUnseen grief and the importance of social witnessResources & SupportFacebook Support Group (facilitated by Kreed) - https://www.facebook.com/groups/estrangedmotherssupportgroupOne-on-One ServicesPrivate coachingConsultingMediation servicesConnect with Kreed:Website: theestrangedheart.comEmail: [email protected] the work: Buy Me a Coffee (donation platform)Disclaimer: Kreed Revere is not a licensed therapist.
