This week: “What If We’re Angry with the Wrong Person?”
Enmeshment runs rampant in families. If you grew up in a family with enmeshed issues, you have likely continued that pattern in your adult romantic relationships. Dr. Kenneth M. Adams is a clinical psychologist specializing in enmeshment, addictions and covert incest. He is the author of Silently Seduced: When Parents Make Their Children Partners and When He’s Married to Mom.
In this episode, our host Jamie Yuenger speaks with Dr. Adams about the following topics:
- What enmeshment is and how it plays out in our families of origin
- Why enmeshment is harmful to our relationships
- How enmeshment later effects our adult, romantic relationships
- Why enmeshment often leads us to feel angry with the wrong people
- How you can overcome enmeshment
- How you can spot if you partner has an enmeshed relationship with his/her parents
