279. Q&A: How can I maintain a relationship with my mom who has extremist political views?

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Hershberg and I talk about...   - Breaking down the difference between having differing political view points versus someone having extremist views.    - How the health of our relationships with our parents is often intertwined with our relationship with ourselves, our kids, and our entire family system.    - How to manage feeling lost, un-seen, and destabilized when a parent shifts to being less of a secure attachment figure.   - Does this change in your parent's views and values mean you have to throw out all the things you have learned from them that inform your approach to raising your own kids?   - When it’s best to try to compartmentalize things your parent might say, and when it’s necessary to hold firm boundaries.   - Learn Dr. Sarah's simple framework for setting and holding effective boundaries.     ADDITIONAL PODCAST EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE:   🎧 Listen to my podcast episode about setting boundaries with your in-laws   🎧 Listen to my podcast episode about fostering deep and meaningful realationshisp with Dr. Rick Hanson   🎧 Listen to my podcast episode about mindfulness with Diana Winston   WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU:   Go to https://drsarahbren.com/question to send us a question or a topic you want to hear us answer on Securely Attached - Beyond the Sessions!
