From the transcript:
Marlena: I’m very pleased to introduce today’s guest, Dr. Joshua Coleman.
Josh is a psychologist in private practice in the San Francisco area and a senior fellow with the Council on Contemporary Families, an organization of leading sociologists, historians, psychologists, and demographers who provide research and best practice findings about American families. He’s lectured at esteemed universities around the world and he’s been interviewed on many major television and radio shows.
Josh is the author of numerous books. The one I drew most of my questions from today is “When Parents Hurt, Compassionate Strategies When You and Your Grown Child Don’t Get Along.” So, the title of this podcast is “Becoming Who You Truly Are.” And this season we’re talking about forgiveness and reconciliation as paths to healing, and finding our true selves. Over and over and in different ways, my guests are addressing the question, what does it really mean to forgive? Josh’s expertise on family dynamics makes him uniquely qualified to address this and other important questions related to forgiveness and reconciliation. Josh, welcome to the show. Thank you so much for being here...

This is insightful! Understanding perspectives is key, whether in life or strategizing in a game. It reminds me of Uno Online – you might think you're right about playing that Draw Two, but maybe the other player is setting you up. Focus on understanding their hand, their strategy, before making your move. Listening is always a winning play, both on and off the screen. This definitely adds a new dimension to how I'll approach my next Uno Online session.
This is a really interesting perspective on forgiveness and reconciliation within families. While compassionate strategies are vital, I wonder if focusing solely on parental hurt overlooks the potential impact of childhood experiences on the adult child's ability to reconcile. Perhaps a deeper examination of those early dynamics is needed, even if it brings uncomfortable truths to light. It could be argued that ignoring them can be a consequence of bad parenting .
