  • Summary

  • Please note: This podcast contains references to suicide, domestic violence, and themes of a sexual nature.

    Do you find it hard to talk to your sibling? The relationships we have with our siblings are more important than we often realise. How you were with your siblings is very important to how you are in the world. Therapy often focuses on romantic relationships or parent and child relationships but rarely does it consider brothers and sisters, and yet the sibling relationship is often the blueprint for how a person interacts with others throughout their lifetime. 

    In this new original series, Psychotherapist Philippa Perry explores six very different sibling relationships, and aims to bridge the communication gap within families. In a single intense session she goes under the skin of each of these relationships to find out what is working, what might not be working and how reflecting on this often overlooked relationship might benefit everyone involved.

    In these frank and revealing conversations, there is laughter and also occasionally tears as Philippa sheds light on the inner workings of the sibling dynamic. If there is a conversation in your family that you have been meaning to have for a while, this podcast might help you finally gather the courage to talk. 

    If you or someone you know has been bereaved or affected by suicide or is having suicidal thoughts, there are a number of organisations who offer help and support including:

    The Samaritans - www.samaritans.org, Tel: 116 123, SMS: Text SHOUT to 85258

    MIND - www.mind.org.uk

    Survivors of Bereavement By Suicide - www.uksobs.org

    A Sonderbug Production for Audible Originals.

Spot on!

I learned the importance of sibling relationships through my own therapy. Philippa echoes that in this podcast. Valuable—for anyone, actually. Wish she would do more podcasts along this line. Really like her summaries of each conversation. Learned a lot! (4 stars on performance because one guy mumbled and I couldn’t understand him.)

topics don't fit my circumstances

I didn't listen to all of them but cherry picked topics that seemed closest to me. and even then it was really close :) it was a good format to let each sibling speak about their view THEN bring them together.

Insightful, interesting podcast

Enjoyed exploring this dynamic of sibling relationships along with the participants. I could relate to a little bit of something from each part of the series - both in positive and introspective ways, in some cases. Each part explored a different dynamic of sibling relationships that I can relate to or could find situational experiences in my own life that placed me in similar “feels” - recommend this to anyone who either has a relationship they want to understand better, from childhood, or is interested in the base psychology of why we turn out the way we do as adults.

Compelling and a window into fraternal relationships

Very insightful conversations and the participating siblings were surprisingly open to discuss very difficult situations. Resonated.
