This episode is published raw and unedited. I hope the stumbles and pauses are not too distracting. Due to technical issues, posting Richard and Brita Part 2 is delayed. 

Families. Healthy or unhealthy? Functional or dysfunctional? Secret or Problem? In this episode, I’ll explain the way I look at families and how the people in them can change and grow.

Ep.11 – Mark – Part 1

We’re back after a short holiday break! Mark has an interesting story to share. I think his path to Adult Child recovery will seem very familiar to some listeners.  I’m reminded not to compare my story with anyone else’s.

Ep.11 – Mark – Part 1

Ep.10 – Self-Esteem

In recording this episode about Self-Esteem, I talk quite a bit about positive affirmations. There are many books about affirmations you can read, including mine and Self-Esteem, A Family Affair by Jeanne Illsley Clark. Both have affirmations geared to the developmental stages of childhood. I suggest you pick a few you like and memorize them.

Ep.9 – Christy – Part 2

In Part 2 of her interview, Christy shares with us the tools she’s found which contribute to her continued recovery and growth. 

Christy mentions a book I wrote 30 years ago. It’s now back to its original title, “Secret Families-Problem Families.” I have a couple of cases, and am trying to figure out how best to get everyone who wants one a copy.
