Everyone talks about healing the mother & father wounds as part of personal development, but what about the impact that our sibling dynamics played in our attachment styles and our core wounds? And how do you actually become friends with your siblings when you’ve grown apart from them? Rebecca & Shay share their own personal journeys with their sibling relationships–the ups, the downs, the lessons, the blessings, and the ongoing efforts to heal & maintain the sibling relationships.  

This episode explores:

-The work that it takes to maintain and nurture a sibling relationship as adults 

-Younger siblings experiencing the abandonment wound from older siblings when there is a large age gap. 

-The possible threat that can happen in the older sibling’s brain when a younger sibling is born.

-The importance of parents preparing the older sibling for when a new sibling is born.

-The relationship of the siblings being impacted on whether or not parents encouraged connection.

-The division that can arise between siblings during a divorce. 

-What it means to have your family as your community. 

-How does your relationship with your siblings potentially influence how you relate to friends and romantic partners? 

-How to navigate different parent/family perspectives between siblings. 

-How to relate to your siblings as adults and create a friendship when there are differences & emotional distance.
