In this episode of the Christian Wellbeing Show, host Michelle is joined by therapist and expert, Debbie Richens to discuss the painful issue of parental alienation and estrangement.

Debbie shares her personal experience and professional insights into the dynamics of parent alienation, the manipulative tactics used by others to cause children to cut off a parent, and the severe emotional and physical impacts on those cut off and alienated.
