Loving On Purpose

Autonomy: What Your Adult Child Craves


Listen Later

There are three things we all want:   autonomy, respect by others of our agency, and not be told what to do.  We all want to to be self governing of our lives.  When we feel threatened that someone is taking our power away, we rebel and run away from this person.  Even meaning-well parents, trying to make suggestions to their adult children often backfires by weakening or even losing the relationship with them. It's easy for adult children to feel that these suggestions imply they are not capable of making good decisions or that they are still being treated like a child.  The easiest way to reclaim their power is to avoid having conversations with or being around their parents.  Listen to find out what the antidote is.

I am no longer offering my 8-week coaching program, but I remain fully committed to supporting parents of adult children. If you have questions or need guidance, you’re welcome to reach out to me directly at [email protected].

I would be honored to help you find greater confidence and happiness in your life
