Be a little more thoughtful about abuse
I’ve been listening for years and love the show, however the claims by the guest in the most recent episode that the upticks in parental estrangement recently by adults is caused by TikTok and irresponsible therapists who are convincing patients to ‘accuse’ their parents of abuse are borderline offensive. Estrangement is not a choice that anyone takes lightly, especially when there is emotional abuse rather than physical. Emotional abuse is very real, and if you’ve been through it you know exactly what it is. I’ve been through both with my parents but was only able to feel solid about my decision to estrange because the physical abuse gives me a ‘pass’ to do so. The idea that a person doesn’t know for themselves if they’ve been abused in my experience has come from self serving lines of thinking by professionals who are not truly listening or putting themselves in the shoes of survivors.

I started listening when I found episode no. 91 about Narcissistic Mothers and that was the thing to get me to go see a therapist. It's been a very painful road (both my parents are very disfunctional and toxic). I...Read full review »
