Do You Need Estrangement to Break Generational Traumas?

In this episode, we dive deep into the often misunderstood topic of estrangement and ask the question: Do you need it to break generational traumas? We unpack what it means to create space in family dynamics—whether it’s reducing contact or going completely no-contact—and explore how this process can be a powerful tool for healing. Together, we tackle the generational trauma and societal norms that shape family relationships and keep many stuck in unhealthy cycles, offering actionable steps to create healthier connections.

Our conversation examines the emotional weight of guilt and obligation, the courage required to set boundaries, and the importance of living as your adult self rather than being controlled by an inner child. With personal stories and relatable analogies, we show how estrangement, when approached consciously, can foster personal transformation and healthier family dynamics.
