Dr. Joshua Coleman, parental estrangement expert, joined me for an in-depth conversation for my parent membership group on SubscribeStar last month. We talked at length about the books he's written, his shifting views on gender affirmation, and his template for the “amends letter." I also asked Josh to react to what I call the “reset conversation,” which allows parents to acknowledge their current unhealthy dynamics and find a better way forward with their child.
This discussion with Joshua is most suitable for parents of adult kids on the verge of estrangement, or with kids who are pulling away very quickly.
