Dr. Lynn Ianni, PhD MFT, Family and Marriage Therapist
Have we raised resilient kids? Please welcome to our show Dr. Lynn Lanni, PhD, Family and Marriage Therapist, who joins us to talk about a growing trend in some households – adult children who are limiting communication with their parents, leaving them confused, not knowing how to handle the situation and asking themselves what went wrong. So I’ve invited Dr. Ianni to help sort things out so families can begin the healing process and start talking again.
Dr. Ianni said there’s a variety of reasons for this recent dynamic. Was there unresolved trauma? Is it social media influence? Did parents get trapped into the “everybody gets a trophy” mindset and not raise resilient kids? Was there an abusive parent? Could it be recent therapy trends? Whatever the underlying reason, it seems to be an issue particularly with millennial and Gen Z kids with their parents, and Dr. Ianni says there are ways to deal with it so adult children and parents feel safe again to communicate with love and mutual respect.
Please find my full interview with Dr. Ianni on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE, and invite your friends to this important conversation. Whether you’re dealing with this or know someone who is, we can all benefit from this discussion. I’m your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it’s my pleasure to welcome you here.
