Surviving Estrangement (Ep.5)

October 1, 2025 · 33 min

Show notes

Welcome back everyone. Today, we are doing a deep dive into estrangement. I have found this topic to be widely relatable yet heavily shamed among trauma survivors.

As you listen along, pay attention to your response to the different messages you may have heard that invited in further shame around you being estranged. That part of you may need some TLC from you-well deserved.
