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
