S18 Ep35: 'My Parent Is So Controlling, Please Help'

In light of what is happening with the Beckham's, this episode couldn't be more relevant right now. This will help us understand family dynamics and the root cause of this particular problem that many families face. This listener who moved abroad feels conflicted between independence and her parent’s need for control. Despite knowing the behaviour comes from fear and unresolved issues, judgement leaves them doubting themselves. They feel torn and felt compelled to get in touch. Gerry introduces his A–C–E framework (Accept, Change or Exit), offering practical ways to set boundaries, shift emotional patterns and build relationships rooted in compassion rather than resentment.
