One of the most frequent questions I'm asked is, "How do I know if my child is cutting ties and wants to be estranged?"
 
Why is it important to understand the differences and similarities? Knowing the difference helps us assess the health of a relationship. 

Take a listen as I dig in and talk about the differences. And - importantly - the similarities.

The continuum of estrangement discussed today is available at https://www.togetherestranged.org/levels-of-estrangement.

The stories, examples, reflections, and perspectives shared in this podcast are based on my professional work as an estrangement coach and my personal estrangement journey. Any examples, characters, or stories referenced are either drawn from my own lived experience or represent a composite of multiple real-life situations shared with me over time. The intention of this podcast is not to accuse, label, or defame any individual but to provide insight, validation, and support for those navigating the complexities of family estrangement. All opinions expressed are my own and are shared with you, the listener, from a place of healing and learning.
