Caller Questions & Discussion: Dr. Alice asks the thought-provoking question, “What is your resistance to healing?” She also shares three ways to overcome resistance to change and embrace emotional and spiritual healing. Our 33-year-old daughter is pregnant, and her fiancé called off their wedding. Now neither of them will talk to us, and her boyfriend seems very controlling. What should we do in this difficult family situation? When I go to my friend’s house, where I help care for his dog, I notice sexually-explicit material on his table. Should I tell him it makes me uncomfortable? My wife and I have no relationship with our 63-year-old son because he denied that his daughter was his, but now he demands that we accept her. Are we right to distance ourselves, or should we try to rebuild the relationship?
