Are you estranged from a family member? About a quarter of Americans are. Maybe you’re cut off from a parent or adult child or sibling. The one universal about estrangement is that it’s painful. And it’s on the rise.

Our guest for this episode is Dr. Joshua Coleman. He’s been through it himself, and has become a world-class expert on the phenomenon of estrangement. We talk with Dr. Coleman about how estrangement happens, why it’s happening more frequently these days, and what you can do about it.

Dr. Coleman’s most recent book is Rules of Estrangement: Why Adult Children Cut Ties and How to Heal the Conflict, available anywhere you get books. His website is https://www.drjoshuacoleman.com/.
