Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • After a blow-up with my kid we both stay frozen and far apart, and I keep trying to talk it through, to get an apology, while the distance just drags on
  • This rift has poisoned the whole family and nobody can fix it one-on-one anymore
  • Every conversation with my kid about their behavior turns into me laying down the law and them digging in, and I want a way to actually talk it through together
  • We had a bad fight and now I’m just waiting for things to feel normal again on their own
  • Lately it feels like the bad outweighs the good between us by a mile
