Edge of the Couch
Two good friends and experienced therapists explore the topics that were either shied away from or dismissed because they were too big, too nuanced, too risky, or too uncomfortable to address in school or even in supervision. We want to inspire and encourage therapists to think more deeply, show up more fully, and find humour and self-compassion in navigating the messier parts of being a therapist.
Edge of the Couch
The "Trend" of Parental Estrangement
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Oprah's talked about it, politicians are talking about it...today we are talking about the so-called "trend" of parental estrangement. Therapists have a specific place in this conversation. What exactly is our role with clients who are thinking of cutting off their family members?
