63: Family Estrangement Isn't a Trend—It's Survival
In this episode, Minaa B. tackles the polarizing discourse around family estrangement—is it a trend or survival? She breaks down what estrangement really is, why people choose it, and what's missing from the social media conversation: the grief, the ambivalence, the cost, and the complexity that a 60-second video can't capture. Drawing on concepts like little t traumas and "death by a thousand paper cuts," Minaa explains how estrangement is rarely about one incident but rather years of unmet needs and unrepaired harm. If the online discourse has left you confused about whether cutting off family is brave or giving up, this episode brings the nuance that's been missing. Work with me Book a 1:1 therapy consultation.
