Family Estrangement (Adult Children)
This is a process group for adults who are estranged from their family or specific family members, whether by choice or circumstance. Group will focus on: reasons surrounding estrangement; family history & intergenerational patterns (including patterns of rupture, estrangement, abandonment, trauma, & loss); coping & mourning the loss of family member(s) who are absent but living; setting & maintaining healthy boundaries; rebuilding; and, when desired, revisiting decision of estrangement and assessing whether or not to attempt reconciliation. If the estrangement is between adult child and parent(s), this group is intended for the adult child, not the parental figure(s).
