Reconciliation Therapy Insights

Parents often seek therapy to reconnect with estranged adult children, but the process is primarily guided by the child's needs and terms. It's crucial for parents to understand that reconciliation therapy focuses on fostering empathy and respect for boundaries, rather than a mutual negotiation like marital therapy. Children may feel estranged as a protective measure, and the therapy aims to help parents recognize their past hurtful behaviors while supporting the child's mental health.
