Brothers, Sisters, Strangers: A Podcast on Sibling EstrangementHow to deal with in-laws' bullying behavior and childhood triggersIn this episode, we explore triggers – an unresolved feeling from an earlier life experience that influences a reaction in the present. Many are unaware that they have triggers, so the first step is to pay attention to your body to begin to recognize them. Some people may notice that they develop stomachaches, headaches, or shallow breathing when they become stressed or anxious. The triggers typically are tied to specific feelings, such as a lack of control, a lack of security, or a sense of over responsibility. Triggers often connect to negative core beliefs – “I don’t matter,” “I’m not good enoug...

Fern and Ali-John have reached a significant milestone, and here we reflect on our initial meeting, our video podcast, and our joint commitment to the sibling estrangement community. We marvel at the synergy between us, take stock of what we’ve done since the podcast's inception, and explore what we hope to do in the future.

We will continue to empower viewers by offering insights and comfort on th...
2026-01-2019 minBrothers, Sisters, Strangers: A Podcast on Sibling EstrangementHow to Respond when a Narcissistic Sibling Injures?How do we respond when a narcissistic sibling erupts in anger? The impulse is to erupt in anger, however, that’s not the best strategy to deescalate the situation. It’s almost impossible to win with a narcissist, so it’s best to avoid a power struggle. This illuminating episode provides guidance on what to do in these volatile, vulnerable moments when a sibling lashes out. There is a tendency to personalize these angry reactions, but actually, it's important that we don't take this on and don't personalize their nasty provocation. Remain calm and focus on your breath before you re...

Sibling estrangement cuts across all classes and cultures, yet many don’t want to discuss this stigmatized topic and not everyone can afford on-going therapy. Studies show that writing from the heart for 20 minutes a day helps to make sense of emotions and to construct meaning from experience, contributing to both emotional and physical well-being.

Ali-John has created a visual that helps assess this difficult question by measuring the health of the sibling relationship. By plotting coordinates, siblings can see exactly where their relationship falls in this four-quadrant graph. The horizontal line runs from humanization to dehumanization -- much of which is communicated nonverbally. The vertical line assesses feelings that run from belonging to alienation. The graph serves as a clear visual, quantifying and clarifying whether it is necessary to go no-contact. Of course, this graph doesn't account for some unquantifiable factors, such as family pressures...

These parents, who have arrested emotional maturity, will seek to validate their needs first at the expense of the child. Typically, children in these families cannot develop healthy emotional functioning, and they suffer with adverse effects in adulthood. We explore how growing up with a narcissistic parent taints our view of life and our relationships with others. Children in these homes often develop unhealthy coping mechanisms, such as people-pleasing and enabling...

We discuss how guilt plays upon the psyche of the family fixer. When interacting with a difficult sibling, guilt often drives enabling behavior -- which inevitably leads to an unhealthy, imbalanced relationship. We recommend practical, empowering techniques to help viewers mitigate their own feelings of guilt. Finally, Fern and I engage in a powerful experiential exercise that viewers can do at home when plagued by guilt.(Note: We apologize for the audio issues...

This empathic approach is not about enabling or excusing harmful behavior, but about creating opportunities for emotion-focused dialogue that may access suppressed empathy. We offer examples of how these conversations might unfold and conclude with reflective questions to help you decide whether this approach is right for you.Note to listeners: Some strategies discussed may not be suitable for everyone.

2026-01-1125 minBrothers, Sisters, Strangers: A Podcast on Sibling EstrangementHow to Deal with a Disagreeable SiblingIn our latest podcast, we explore the interactions of agreeable and disagreeable siblings. Often, empathetic people discover the risks and traps of being congenial and amenable when involved with competitive, distrustful siblings. The compassionate may find that their natural inclination to allay a tense situation with their savvy communication skills may only heighten hostilities with a disagreeable sibling. These ruptures may undermine confidence and self-esteem for the agreeable sibling, creating a terrible sense of imbalance. We discuss how to negotiate a relationship with a disagreeable sibling and, at the same time, how to avoid becoming disagreeable ourselves.

Here, we explore the different types of narcissists and unpack how a narcissist's behavior plays out in interactions with our siblings. Often, we feel unfulfilled in a sibling relationship when conversations are one-sided, demeaning, deceitful, and even threatening, and these interactions can cause acute stress and even post-traumatic symptoms. Our goal is not to diagnose, but to map out the territory so that siblings can identify some of the characteristics of a narcissistic sibling. Ranging in severity -- from superficial to harmful -- relationships with a narcissist typically are plagued with an...

Often, when a sibling is exposed to these confusing, hurtful tactics, he or she may regress into childhood roles and an immature pattern of relating.

Those unfamiliar with this tactic may find themselves repeatedly injured by it. Fern introduces listeners to the concept through a personal story, and then, we zero-in on how siblings use shame-shifting. We also identify seven rules of shame-based families based upon John Bradshaw's powerful book, Healing the Shame that Binds You. Typically, siblings use shame-shifting to vie for power; often, the result is that the weaker sibling denies his or her own needs and feelings to maintain the relationship. It's important...

This leads into a discussion on making the important distinction between shunning and a positive cutoff. We then explore what research has discovered about the effects of shunning on the brain, specifically how similarly the brain processes physical and psychological pain. In addition, we identify how shunning can stamp an individual's emotional state, his or her daily interactions with others, and in turn, define an individual's self-image, social relationships, and a sense of...
