Download or read book Rules of Estrangement written by Joshua Coleman, PhD and published by Random House. This book was released on 2024-09-03 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A guide for parents whose adult children have cut off contact that reveals the hidden logic of estrangement, explores its cultural causes, and offers practical advice for parents trying to reestablish contact with their adult children. “Finally, here’s a hopeful, comprehensive, and compassionate guide to navigating one of the most painful experiences for parents and their adult children alike.”—Lori Gottlieb, psychotherapist and New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone Labeled a silent epidemic by a growing number of therapists and researchers, estrangement is one of the most disorienting and painful experiences of a parent's life. Popular opinion typically tells a one-sided story of parents who got what they deserved or overly entitled adult children who wrongly blame their parents. However, the reasons for estrangement are far more complex and varied. As a result of rising rates of individualism, an increasing cultural emphasis on happiness, growing economic insecurity, and a historically recent perception that parents are obstacles to personal growth, many parents find themselves forever shut out of the lives of their adult children and grandchildren. As a trusted psychologist whose own daughter cut off contact for several years and eventually reconciled, Dr. Joshua Coleman is uniquely qualified to guide parents in navigating these fraught interactions. He helps to alleviate the ongoing feelings of shame, hurt, guilt, and sorrow that commonly attend these dynamics. By placing estrangement into a cultural context, Dr. Coleman helps parents better understand the mindset of their adult children and teaches them how to implement the strategies for reconciliation and healing that he has seen work in his forty years of practice. Rules of Estrangement gives parents the language and the emotional tools to engage in meaningful conversation with their child, the framework to cultivate a healthy relationship moving forward, and the ability to move on if reconciliation is no longer possible. While estrangement is a complex and tender topic, Dr. Coleman's insightful approach is based on empathy and understanding for both the parent and the adult child.

Download or read book Reconnecting with Your Estranged Adult Child written by Tina Gilbertson and published by New World Library. This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parents whose adult children have cut off contact wonder: How did this happen? Where did I go wrong? What happened to my loving child? Over time, holidays, birthdays, and even the birth of grandchildren may pass in silence. Anguish may turn into anger. While time, in and of itself, does not necessarily heal, actions do, and while every estrangement includes situation-specific variables, there are practical, effective, and universal techniques for understanding and healing these not-uncommon breaches. Psychotherapist Tina Gilbertson has developed these techniques and tools over years of face-to-face and online work with parents, who have found her strategies transformative and even life-changing. Gilbertson cuts through the blame, shame, and guilt on both sides of the broken relationship. Parents will feel heard and understood but also challenged — and guided — to reclaim their role as"tone setter" and grow psychologically. Exercises, examples, and sample scripts empower parents who have felt powerless. Gilbertson shows that reconciliation is a step-by-step process, but the effort is well worth it. It is never too late to renew relations and experience better-than-ever bonds.

Have you ever looked around and wondered, “Why has everyone found love except me?” You’re not the only one. Great relationships don’t just appear in our lives—they’re the culmination of a series of decisions, including whom to date, how to end it with the wrong person, and when to commit to the right one.

This book was released on 2015-10-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a lot of patience, understanding, and soul wisdom, Indra takes you to the root causes of relationship problems. Drawing on his extensive experience as a facilitator of family and relationship constellations, he shows you what is causing relationships to run off the rails and how to heal them. By being loyal, we unconsciously carry over behavioral patterns and attitudes from our ancestors. These loyalties often have a huge impact on our couple relationship-to an extent you could never have imagined. Our ancestors leave us with a kind of blueprint, or mind-set, about life and relationships. This mind-set is a major determining factor in whether our relationships turn out to be happy. Lasting change will come about only if you become aware of these loyalties and learn to let go of destructive behaviors and attitudes inherited from your ancestors. Integrating the wisdom of Heal Your Relationship in your life will give you the power and insights to heal yourself and, of course, improve your relationship skills. Drawing on his extensive experience as a therapist and a spiritual teacher, Preiss helps the reader to - Recognize what it takes to make your relationship work and to grow healthy, lasting, nurturing and fulfilling relationships. - Understand the root of all marriage and relationship problems and unlocking the key to solving and fixing relationship and marriage problems. - Learn how to end painful relationship patterns and how to heal and transform your relationship from within. - Heal from the emotional wounds of the past and stop self-sabotage from improving or saving your relationship or marriage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hey, it''s not too late! Don''t give up! Yes, your stomach churns over your adult children''s bad choices. You didn''t raise them to be that way! Your heart aches as they engage in self-destructive behavior or they''ve just added one more toxic relationship to their friend list. In shock you watch them pile up credit card debt while making little or no effort to find a job. They sit around spending countless hours playing mind numbing video games and texting. Encouraging them to move out on their own is met with guilt laden accusations that you''re "kicking them out." They refuse to respect your house rules and feel like martyrs if you ask them to help with the chores. Or you discover to your dismay that they''re living with someone and having your grand babies with no plans to get married. Efforts to try to talk only erupt into shouting matches and now they don''t call or come around much. The knot in the pit of your stomach doesn''t go away and discouragement feels like your only companion. You''re overwhelmed with feelings of hopeless resignation. "What''s the use? Nothing works. Now what!" Mending Fences Healing Hearts starts right where you are. It begins by re-energizing your dwindling hope with practical ways to build a better relationship with your adult children. Dr. Chuck Lynch, author, biblical counselor, and international speaker on family issues, has helped many discouraged parents mend broken relationships with their adult children. Chapter 1 begins by restoring your perspective. You are done parenting. Now, you must view your kids as adults like God does, even if they are not acting like adults. Failure to grow up does not excuse a person from adulthood. Dr. Lynch describes in chapter 2 the first practical step to take. It''s a hard one. Rather than talking to them parent-to-child, adjust your communication style to adult-to-adult. That one change has mended many relational fences. Talking down to them doesn''t motivate them to grow up. In Chapter 3 learn how to advise when asked or what to do when they don''t choose to follow your advice or don''t even ask for it. There is a way to open a closed mind. One thing that tears you up is their failure to fulfill your expectations and dreams. Chapter 4 shows how to adjust your expectations to fit today''s reality and gain some welcome peace. Undoubtedly, you did the best you could with the information and maturity you had when you raised them, but you made a few mistakes. In chapter 5, discover how to give and receive forgiveness from the heart and stop being controlled by guilt and regret. You''ll be able to distinguish between forgiveness and trust as it relates to your kids. It''s possible to wipe the slate clean. Chapter 6 makes it clear how to get off the emotional roller coaster and regain some emotional stability yourself. Sure, you love your kids but they may not feel it. Chapter 7 focuses on how to love your kids from their perspective in a healthy way. In chapter 8, learn how good it feels to establish some healthy boundaries and watch what happens through the power of personal responsibility. You''ve worked hard for what you have today. Chapter 9 presents a strategy to dispense your resources wisely and stop feeling like you have to be your adult children''s walking ATM. Grand children are the joy of your heart, however, the way they''re parented or not parented can be a source of pain. The key in chapter 10 is how to be a wise grandparent, regardless of what others are doing. Every relationship involves conflict. That''s not bad. How you deal with conflict can be. The four key elements described in chapter 11 bring personal peace, even if no one else changes.Mending Fences Healing Hearts is written plainly from both a professional and a biblical perspective. It is easily understood and full of common sense. Questions at the end of each chapter provide a practical study guide for small group discussion. You will discover that it''s not too late to mend fences and heal hearts.
