How can I support my LGBTQ brother who recently came out, and support my parents who are heartbroken about it?: Ask Dr. Julie Hanks
In this episode, I coach Melissa and address the question “How can I support my LGBTQ brother who recently came out, and support my parents who are heartbroken about it?” There’s some grieving that comes along with families shifting and changing. When this happens, the family won’t be the same.
During this episode, I validate Melissa that right now, people in her family are in a lot of pain, and that’s hard. This episode focuses on how we can nurture empathy within our family without nurturing enmeshment.
