Leisel & Ellie [Part 2 of 2]: Can They Repair After Estrangement?
Update: 2025-12-04
Description
This mum & daughter have been asked to reflect on the default behaviours that keep them stuck in the unhelpful dynamic they’re in when conflict arises, and what to seek more positive and helpful behaviours that foster connection and communication.
This session explore how trauma, mental health challenges and other diagnoses can impact even our closest relationships, and what real repair looks like.
