Title: New Fad: “Family Estrangement Therapy”. Parents Be Warned.
Topic: Woke Progressives

Discussed by Devon Herrick
with Heartland Institute (www.Heartland.org)

There is an emerging fad flooding social media called “family estrangement”, which includes therapists and sociology gurus offering YouTube counseling for young adults. In fact, one recent survey found that about one-quarter of Americans claim to be estranged from a family member.

Today, Devon Herrick, PhD, offers insight into this new disturbing trend and warns parents to be vigilant. Devon is a Policy Advisor with the Heartland Institute and a writer for Heartland Daily News.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Why are more and more young people cutting ties with family members? Do young people really think they will be happier? Devon offers two very extreme reasons and neither are healthy for any person.

When did this trend begin?

Has the message that you can “divorce” your parents gained a tremendous following with young people on social media platforms like TikTok and YouTube?

What is the “Toxic Family Test”? NOTE: We will not post a link to this absurd test, but you can feel free to use DuckDuckGo and search for yourself.

Back in the 1980s, there was a psychology fad called “Recovered Memory Movement”, which has since been extinguished due to the crazy theories. However, is Family Estrangement Therapy very similar to RMM?
