I remember the first time I heard about reunification therapy... I thought, "OMG, FINALLY! There is a reasonable action to counter to all the damage that has been done! " . I was thrilled by the notion that maybe, just maybe, my case would begin to turn around.

After a little research (and a lot of legwork), I was able to have a judge order the therapy for my daughter and me. I was sure that this would be the answer to my prayers. A few sessions, and we'd be right back to snugging on the couch watching movies before bedtime.

Or so I thought...

In this episode:

1. debunking the common perception that reunification therapy is a scam
2. varying success rates due to numerous factors outside the control of the targeted parent and/or the therapist.
3. the importance of managing expectations,
4. the inability to influence the actions of the alienating parent
5. the critical role of self-awareness and empowerment in navigating the difficult journey of re-establishing connections with alienated children.
