Have you ever worried about family estrangement or losing connection with a loved one? More and more people are experiencing estranged parent-child relationships, yet so few talk about how to heal family estrangement - until now.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Joshua Coleman, a leading expert on family conflict resolution, to dive deep into why families cut ties, the cultural shifts that have contributed to it, and most importantly, what we can do to rebuild family relationships.

Dr. Coleman shares his personal experience with estranged parents and children, the biggest mistakes people make, and how therapists can navigate difficult family relationships to guide clients toward family reconciliation strategies. We also discuss the role of social media, modern therapy practices, and how shifting generational values impact parent-child estrangement today.

Whether you're a therapist looking for family therapy advice, a parent struggling with no contact with family, or an adult child trying to understand how to fix broken family relationships, this episode is packed with insights and therapy tips for healing family estrangement.

Tune in now to learn the psychology behind family estrangement and how to repair broken relationships.
