Course Overview

Estranged Parent Healing| Psychology Practitioner ACCREDITED

Heal your pain, remove shame, understand trauma, the rules of estrangement, cultural social psychology and self-Love!

INTERNATIONALLY CERTIFIED & ACCREDITED

In the United States, Parents and their adult children have twice as much conflict than in other countries around the world, compared to places like Spain and Norway, etc. It is an interesting finding that has to do with the way we raise our children, the rise of concentrated individualism, and the type of individualism that is practiced culturally.

Technology also has a place in this discussion as it has shaped the way in which we communicate with one another and especially the way in which Xennials, Millennials, Generation Y, Z, respond to Gen X and Boomers. The gap has become so wide, and many parents are completely blindsided, or else see the conflict coming slowly, like a train wreck, and have no idea what is happening in-order-to stop it. It is very common for adult children to say that parents "know exactly what they did or a doing," however, in many cases, they literally don't because the rules of parenting and engagement have changed so drastically, as has the child themselves, from the respect and entitlements a parent once cherished and could reply on. While estrangement benefits the adult child who feels they must abandon the parent to find themselves, the parent has nothing to gain but pain and sadness.

In this course we detangle the personal pain and suffering, from the changes in society and the nuclear family, and address the changes parents need to make, how to understand the nuances of estrangement with adult children and how to attempt to learn and meet the needs of the adult child to repair the relationship.

This course asks parents to be open and look within in, something I am convinced that bulk of you are already well on your way to doing, which is why you found your way to this course, while also examining the adult child's behavior and what you are not responsible for.

This course is also highly recommended for Healers, Counsellors, Therapists and Ministers to assist your own clients or patients with this very difficult issue of estrangement that is on the rise.

This course is not only an examination of personal growth in relationships and the ever-changing dynamics, but more importantly, gives parents tools to learn to be happy again, and through all this soul searching and trying to understand, find a greater love than they had at the beginning of this journey. That is, a greater love for themselves as more than the role of parent and the ability to be happy again despite the estrangement from an adult child. Whether there is a short-term or a long-term absence from an adult child, a parent has the right to be happy and move on (as well as the adult child) to pursue happiness and joy afforded to us all. Some things are fixable and at other times they are not. Finding a greater love for self which allows you to remove the guilt, shame and embarrassment parents silently suffer, and going on to live a beautiful life is the end goal.

The world has changed, our children with it, and now we must catch up to understand how to navigate through the web of family estrangement. There is so much covered in this course. Please see the course syllabus for topics and I hope to see you in class!
