I am a huge fan of Dr Coleman’s sensible, professional and balanced advice to estranged parents. I highly recommend following him on his Substack and both of his books on estrangement. I am working through his second books worksheets and found them challenging but very helpful in understanding myself and my son.
Dr. Joshua Coleman, Ph.D. is a wealth of knowledge on the complexities of today’s family conflict and estranged relationships. He goes into depth on how it can affect entire family structures for future generations. I subscribe to his “Family Troubles” on Substack which includes his wonderful newsletter that discusses estrangement between parents and adult children and how this affects grandchildren, as well. I am so glad to know he has now put together a wonderful podcast with interesting gue... more
I’ve listened to three of the Dr.Coleman’s new podcast after following him through his newsletter and Zoom meetings for three years.

Very much enjoy all of Dr. Coleman’s material (books, substack articles, YouTube and now this podcast). Enjoy his insights and the guests he has on!
This is the podcast I’ve been waiting for. Truly a must listen for the complex times in which we are living. Families are suffering and on both sides of the divide there is immense pain. The conversations Dr. Coleman facilitates illuminate multiple perspectives and helps breakdown the many factors which make reconciliation such a challenge. These issues affect all of us, it’s either you or someone you know. We all need this information to help push society in a kinder and more gentle direction.
