Summary

A family rift is one of the most traumatic experiences a person can face. It can have a profound effect on virtually every aspect of life, causing depression, relationship problems, and even physical illness. Healing From Family Rifts offers hope to those coping with a split in their families.

Family therapist Mark Sichel addresses the pain and shame connected with family rifts and offers a way through the crisis and on toward healing and fulfillment. Uniquely, Sichel does not assume that every rift will or even should be mended. Instead, he offers ways to recover from any outcome, including:

  • A 10-step process to come to terms with the family dynamics that led to the split
  • Methods to find peace and personal reconciliation
  • Skills that help to build a second family of people whose values are in line with one's own
  • Techniques to fight feelings of guilt when faced with a family rift
  • Includes inspiring and instructive stories drawn from the author's patients that help listeners put their own situations in perspective

v helpful understandings

learned a lot about estrangement causes and reconciliation methods. listened to the book four times painstakingly writing out parts to follow up with at a later date. helped me to categorise roles individuals take and understand my own role within it all

Life changing book.

This book is amazing, I'm very grateful I found it. I'm surprised it hasn't more reviews, it is one of the best I read this year.

Reasonable

This book seems a little old fashioned now. It focuses a lot on being rejected by parents because that is the experience of the author. It also assumes that if it’s an adult child who has rejected parents that the family is totally dysfunctional which is a harsh judgement & not necessarily the case. There are more recent books that are better (Tina Gilbertson or Dr. Joshua Coleman)
