161. (S8E45) How Adult Kids Can Get Along with Their Parents with Whitney Goodman

<p>Whitney Goodman is the author of <em>Toxic Positivity</em>, a book sharing its release date with my own, Raising Critical Thinkers. She’s a psychotherapist with a wonderful Instagram account, @sitwithwhit, where she offers insightful support to young adults seeking to recover from childhood pains and traumas. She was <a href="https://blog.bravewriter.com/2022/05/25/podcast-toxic-positivity-whitney-goodman/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">previously on the podcast</a> in May 2022 where she discussed her book and the downsides of positive thinking. </p><p>Lately, Whitney has zeroed in on the challenge of creating healthy relationships between adult kids and their parents. Meanwhile, I’ve been in conversations with my adult friends about how to relate to their Millennial and Gen Z kids as they set boundaries and communicate their pain. We all want connection — but most of us are unsure of how to get it. Together, Whitney and I hope to represent these two generations and discuss how to heal pain and foster connection.</p><p>We even do some role-playing!</p><p><strong>You can download show notes for the podcast here: </strong><a href="https://blog.bravewriter.com/category/podcasts/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://blog.bravewriter.com/category/podcasts/</a></p><p><strong>Resources:</strong></p><ul><li>Whitney's website: <a href="https://sitwithwhit.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">sitwithwhit.com</a></li><li>Read her book: <a href="https://sitwithwhit.com/toxic-positivity" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Toxic Positivity</a></li><li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sitwithwhit/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@sitwithwhit</a></li><li><a href="https://blog.bravewriter.com/2022/05/25/podcast-toxic-positivity-whitney-goodman/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Podcast: Toxic Positivity &amp; the Downside of Always Looking Up « A Brave Writer’s Life in Brief</a></li><li>Sign up for our <a href="https://store.bravewriter.com/pages
