    I have listened to this podcast for over a year, but found this week’s episode with analysis of the estranged parent video SO helpful and validating. Best episode yet, hands down.

    I love this podcast! Great content. Only criticism is that it can be hard to listen to due to the host’s vocal fry.

  • Strong content, production struggles

    This is an excellent podcast that covers relatable topics of family estrangement. That said, the delivery and production has opportunities for improvement. The abrupt breaks for advertiser content (no outro or intro) is jarring. At times, the host shifts into a voice with significant vocal fry, which makes it difficult to listen to the entire ep—even though the continent is so strong. If you listen to her disclaimer at end, there is no fry—so I’m not criticizing her natural voice.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Parent Differently Without Overcorrecting with Dr. Juli Fraga
Q: How do you think that parents can manage this really difficult feeling of guilt?
Parents can identify the emotion of guilt, understand its purpose, and explore underlying emotions rather than letting guilt inhibit them.
How to Parent Differently Without Overcorrecting with Dr. Juli Fraga
Q: How can parents start to acknowledge their own emotional reality?
Parents can begin by checking in with their bodies and recognizing the sensations associated with different emotions.
The Enabling Parent Dilemma
Q: How do you heal or get over the parent who never protected you from your narcissistic parent when it was their job to protect you?
Understand that acceptance involves naming the reality of what happened without changing it, focusing on present interactions, and opening up the possibility for a better relationship with proper accountability from the parent.
How the Fawn Response Outsmarts Danger with Dr. Ingrid Clayton
Q: Can you talk a little bit about how someone would grow out of their fawning response?
It's about growing a new internal sense of safety and getting curious about one's feelings rather than pressuring oneself to stop fawning immediately.
How the Fawn Response Outsmarts Danger with Dr. Ingrid Clayton
Q: Can you talk about the difference between fawning, codependency, and people pleasing?
People pleasing and codependency are symptoms of a chronic fawn response; they place blame on the individual without recognizing the context or their nervous system's role.
