🌟 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 connectionDefining estrangement and its various forms• The importance of addressing emotional distances and insecurities• Steps to take when facing estrangement: pause, reflect, research, and reach outEffective methods for navigating difficult conversationsResources and support available through the Reconnection ClubThe ongoing journey of healing and self-improvement in parent-child dynamicsHuge thank you to Connie Gorant Fisher, our audio engineer.Send all ideas to [email protected].
