Jealousy is a natural emotion, and still, it can complicate an already painful estrangement.

In this thoughtful episode, Dr. Janet helps parents and adult children understand the role jealousy plays in their strained or fractured relationships.

Parents, you’re not alone in this. Estranged adult children also tell us they experience jealousy. But the experience for parents and adult children is different.

What does jealousy have to do with estrangement? And pointedly, how can jealousy hinder our ability to establish healthy and respectful communication?

Listen in to hear compassionate insights and consider practical examples.

This episode offers tools to recognize, manage, and move through jealousy in healthy ways.
