Did you know that 27% of Americans are actively estranged from at least one family member?
In a world where ideological division is high and screens are the most consistent recipient of our attention, our families are quietly fracturing.
In this special episode, clinical psychologist Dr. Sherry Walling reflects on the beautiful, painful, complicated terrain of family life.
Inside this episode:
– Why family can be our deepest source of pain—and our greatest opportunity for healing
– The psychological dynamics of individuation, estrangement, and reconciliation
– A radical practice for staying close: becoming a neutral observer
Whether you're in the thick of parenting, navigating loss, or redefining what family means to you, this episode is an invitation to reflect, feel, and begin again.
