168. Emotional Pain: A Field Guide

Emotional pain is part of the human condition. And it's almost a guarantee for parents whose adult children aren't speaking to them. Unwanted estrangement is one of the most painful things that can happen to a parent.
How do you manage your emotions when your own child won't talk to you?
It might seem like you have to wait for them to come around before you can find some relief from the anguish of estrangement. But you don't have to wait.
In order to move through us, emotions must be named, allowed, and experienced. This healing episode will help you get started on a path to feeling better today, even before you reconcile.
