Encore: S02 Ep 5 - Nicole’s Family Divorce

Dear Therapists with Lori Gottlieb and Guy Winch

Show Notes

Hey, Fellow Travelers. This week we’re in session with Nicole, whose parents are getting divorced after nearly 40 years of marriage and is surprised to find that she has a lot of feelings about this, despite being an adult with a husband and kids of her own. We help her to see that her role as the unofficial family mediator is holding her back--and has been for many years.

If you have a dilemma you’d like to discuss with us—big or small—email us at [email protected].
