Caller Questions & Discussion:

  1. Dr. Sheri discusses how she likes to “noodle” after a conversation by trying to figure out what happened. She shares that we often push down our feelings, but we must give feelings space to be included in the room.
  2. I heard a show last week about a man whose sister-in-law had gone through treatment for alcoholism, but his wife was still angry. Having been affected by alcoholism, I wondered why you didn’t mention that his wife may also need support from a counselor.
  3. My husband has separated from me and leased an apartment. He says he made impulsive mistakes in the past and doesn’t want to reconcile. My kids won’t talk to him. What do I do now?
  4. My 64-year-old brother has a history of estrangement from our family. I’m the executor of the trust my parents set up for him. He’s my last living relative. Do I keep reaching out?
  5. Your opening meant a lot to me. I have a close friend who is an emotional avoider, while I’m a vacillator. How do I approach a highly emotional conversation with someone who doesn’t place much value on emotions?
