· 1 h 06 min
Episode Josh Connolly : Family Dysfunction
Topics covered : Alcoholism, toxic family systems, boundaries, living grief, compassion, healing.
This week I speak to author Josh Connolly about family dysfunction.
Josh is a father of six and his book 'It’s Them, Not You: How to Break Free from Toxic Parents and Reclaim Your Story' is a bestseller.
With a powerful online following and years of lived experience behind his work, he speaks openly about growing up with an alcoholic and abusive parent.
And in the wake of recent public conversations around family estrangement, due to Brooklyn Beckham’s revelations, I wanted to explore what dysfunction in a family system actually looks like.
The roles people can fall into, the patterns that follow on into adulthood, and why boundaries can feel so difficult and yet are so necessary.
