259. Confronting our family dynamics in adulthood ft. Gwendolyn Watson

Childhood is a funny thing. You can only really understand it in hindsight and as we become adults we begin to reconsider the ways in which our families have shaped us, for better or for worse. In today's episode, we break down the complicated ways we rethink our family dynamics in adulthood, including:

  • What happens when our family lets us down
  • Our adult reaction to childhood trauma
  • Do we confront our family or move past it?
  • Dealing with emotionally immature parents
  • How to find closure on your own
  • Navigating difficult family dynamics around the holidays

We welcomed on an amazing guest, Gwendloyn Watson, a Marriage and Family Therapist with an expertise in navigating complicated family dynamics and her family story to guide us through these topics.
