Description
Reconnecting with Your Estranged Adult Child: Practical Tips and Tools to Heal Your Relationship For parents whose adult children have cut off contact, the silence can be deafening. Holidays, birthdays, and even the birth of grandchildren may pass without a word. Anger and anguish can follow, leaving parents wondering what went wrong. However, while time may not heal the wound, actions can. Psychotherapist Tina Gilbertson offers practical, effective, and universal techniques for understanding and healing these difficult breaches in relationships. Gilbertson's approach cuts through blame, shame, and guilt, empowering parents to reclaim their role as "tone setters" and grow psychologically. Exercises, examples, and sample scripts are provided to help those who have felt powerless. The process of reconciliation is a step-by-step one, but the effort is well worth it. It's never too late to renew relations and experience better-than-ever bonds with your adult child. With practical tools and guidance, parents can begin to heal and reconnect with their estranged adult child. This book provides a supportive and non-judgmental space for parents to explore their feelings and work towards a more positive relationship.
