Adapting to your evolving situation
Communication skills might include:

Responding to judgement and stigma
Moving forward (enacting resilience)
Kristina listened with genuine compassion and intention, offering thoughtful, objective feedback grounded in both her research and her deep understanding of the experiences of adult children and families navigating estrangement.
Her guidance was practical, gentle, and remarkably insightful, helping me think differently about communication, uncertainty, and the delicate path forward while still offering a meaningful sense of hope.
I left our conversation feeling that time with Kristina would be enormously valuable to any parent seeking wise, research-informed guidance from someone who listens deeply and responds with extraordinary care.
