The Adult Chair: Repairing Relationships With Our Kids (Or Anyone)

In life, we sometimes hurt or damage relationships. The ones that we often regret the most are the ones that are with our kids or other loved ones. The question is, is it possible to repair these relationships and if so how? In today's show, Michelle discusses with you how to live from your Adult Chair and mend broken relationships with people that we deeply care about.

Reviews

This process for having a difficult conversation around a relationship is excellent. As a conflict coach who works with families who are in dispute after a death, I see what happens if those conversations don’t happen and it’s tragic. Highly recommend listening.

All your podcasts are very clear and full of useful practical advise. Everything resonates. I am listening to all of them !!
Thank you for sharing all this wisdom
🙏🏼❤️

Food for thought. Thanks Michelle

Beautiful. Very relatable. I saw a reversal in the role of a child approaching a parent. Thank you. Bookmarked.

Powerful podcast Michelle. My own son has done so much damage to all of his relationships but he’s now sober, and is healing. He recently got married for the first time at 38 and had two kids. One has some deep damage from the years of drunken violence my son fostered on everyone. My grandson was also born addicted to painkillers thanks to his bio mom.
My son is in AA but he also works in a rehab center and is training to facilitate groups etc.
Is this podcast something that could help him as well? His relationship with his son is good, on the surface, but my grandson is in trouble daily ay school.
Any suggestions.
Great talk either way.

A lesson in practical mindfulness, thank you!

Superrich and wonderful practical tools! Thanks for sharing Michelle

Amazing Talk! Great steps to follow. Thank you ✨✨✨

I always wish I had a 'handout' at the end of Michelle's talks, a recapping of the steps so I can refer back to ideas. I'll listen again, if I have time. I'll write my own handout.
Thanks Michelle

TY for precious information

Terrific
Thank you

Michelle, I love the work you do. Working on my inner child, my codependent issues, getting out of my child and adolescent seat and into my adult chair are all what I need! Thank you so much!

I always learn so much from Michelle Chalfant's podcasts. Warm, insightful, and encouraging.
