A Therapist Reads Collin Gosselin's In the Shadow of Eight Memoir: Chapter 3

In chapter 3, Collin found a safe place at his dad’s house and started to push back. In chapter three, that door starts to close. Collin describes being cut off from visits with his father, being moved to the basement away from his siblings, and getting a toy car he never got to play with. As a licensed clinician, I’m walking through this chapter using attachment theory, family systems, and coercive control frameworks. We’ll talk about alienating behaviors and why the term “parental alienation” needs careful handling, what happens to a child when his safe person is taken away, how the scapegoat role becomes physical, and why some of us still struggle to let ourselves have good things.. #collingosselin #kategosselin #jonandkateplus8 Shopping with Therapist - DENISE BRADY's Amazon Page ⬇️ 🔗 https://amazon.openinapp.co/innerchil... 📲 Check out the Video Playlists: ✅ The Grief of Going No Contact | Fighting Through Shame & Guilt 🔗    • The Grief of Going No Contact | Fighting T...   ✅ Healing your Inner Child: Stop Wasting Your Vulnerability! 🔗    • Healing your Innerchild: Stop Wasting your...   ✅ Day in the Life of a Therapist | BTS: Filming My First Mental Health Campaign! 🔗    • Day in the Life of a Therapist | BTS: Film...   🔴 Follow me on Social Media ➡️ Facebook:   / innerchild.whisperer   ➡️ Instagram:   / innerchild.whisperer   ➡️ TikTok:   / innerchild.whisperer   ➡️ Website: https://denisebradylmft.com/ ⚠️ Disclaimer: All videos and content on this channel are intended to be entertainment and educational only.
