Brothers, Sisters, Strangers: A Podcast on Sibling Estrangem... by Ali-John Chaudhary, Psychotherapist and Fern Schumer Chapman, Author

Episode notes

In this episode, we explore practical ways to remain grounded and centered during the stressful holiday season, especially for those facing sibling estrangement. Strategies include cognitive techniques like mantras and affirmations, emotional tools such as labeling feelings and setting micro-boundaries, and somatic practices like breathwork, shielding stance, and using weighted objects. Listeners are encouraged to prioritize their well-being, attend only welcoming gatherings, prepare exit strategies, and keep interactions light to avoid conflict. Self-care, emotional regulation, and creating a safe environment can help when navigating family dynamics and emotional challenges during the holidays.
