I’m so happy I found this article. This is such an important lesson in parenting. Although parents most often have all the best intentions, I often see them struggling to validate and be with their children in their child’s experience. In my observation, they often seek to point their children down the “right path” from their own perspective which they see as the the best way or truth. They often seek to align their children with their own perspectives and are not aware of their own biases at the expense of validating their child’s experience and alienating their child whereby the child questions the validity of their own experience. Note, I am in no way blaming parents, their actions are often well intention and induced by fear and the desire to help and direct their beloved child to live their best life. Surely an article worth reading. Thank you Lisa for writing this article ....psychotherapist to psychotherapist 😉😊🙏.

Infidelity can leave a deep scar on a relationship. It creates an attachment injury that takes a very long time to heal. Yet, with time, commitment, and faith in the relationship, the couple can learn to rebuild trust and take the steps to necessary to heal. This is a link to some important key points about infidelity. I recommend Shirley Glass's book "Not Just Friends" as a resource on understanding infidelity and learning to heal from this very painful injury.

- The major attraction in an affair is NOT the love partner but the positive mirroring of the self -- "the way I look when I see myself in the other person's eyes."
