143. Wisdom to Know the Difference
Manage episode 360330553 series 2525151
Some parents of estranged adult children may already be familiar with the serenity prayer, popularized by AA and other 12-step groups:
"God, grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference."
Knowing when to take action and when to stand down is helpful in gently moving an unwanted estrangement in the direction of healing. But that knowledge is elusive for most parents.
We all have innate wisdom. However, estrangement from one’s own adult child(ren) is highly stressful; circumstances like these can affect your ability to access your wisdom, let alone allow it to guide you.
In this contemplative episode, Tina lists five different practices to follow, to cultivate your highest wisdom during estrangement from your adult child(ren)… And even find moments of peace.
For information on what causes estrangement, and ideas on how to repair your parent-adult child relationship, read Tina's book, Reconnecting With Your Estranged Adult Child.
