Some parents experiencing estrangement from their adult children have known estrangement before. Not necessarily from other people, but within themselves.
Self-alienation is a kind of internal estrangement that has become almost normal in our culture. With so much information available and so much to do, we're not always fully present. We lose touch with ourselves over time, often without realizing it.
In this actionable episode, Tina lists possible signs of self-alienation, along with specific practices to combat it.
Where there’s disconnect inside in the form of self-alienation, it’s very hard to repair disconnected relationships on the outside. Use the material in this episode to start building a foundation for a close and connected relationship with your adult child or children.
For information on why adult children become estranged and what parents can do about it, read Tina's book, Reconnecting With Your Estranged Adult Child.
