How Can Children of Alcoholics Form Healthy Adult Relationships?

Tian Dayton, Ph.D., will talk about kids who grow up with alcoholic or addicted parents—who are often abused or neglected, and often carry their suffering into adulthood where they recreate their original pain. As both a psychologist and child of an alcoholic, she knows the helplessness these adult children face as well as what they must do to grieve, retrieve their buried pain, and achieve acceptance so they can heal. Tian will talk about her latest book The Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOA) Trauma Syndrome, and how post traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD) is connected. She will share valuable insights to help free the pain of the past and can assure the future is bright for those effected. Join me next week at Friday October 19, 2012 1:00pm eastern.
