Episode Segments

Relationship Management: Family by Example

Relationship Management: Resolving Issues

Dr. Thompson discusses how to recognize and address issues from your family of origin, and why in some cases, no change takes place. Then – how parental manipulation can weaken a marriage.

Relationship Management: The Independent Child

In part three, Dr. Thompson talks about how some parents want control over their children because they fear their independence. But what they don’t realize is that control is keeping their children from truly becoming their own person.

Relationship Management: The Enmeshed Child
