Letters That Healed a Father and Son
In this episode, Dr. David Hanscom talks with Donald Cohen PhD, a marital and family therapist. He discussed the evolution of his relationship with his father, describing how they started with mutual tension but eventually grew closer through letter writing. He explained how he initially struggled with his father's intellectual pursuits while identifying as a basketball player, but later realized these issues stemmed from his own poor self-image. Writing letters to his father helped bridge their relationship, particularly after he became a father himself at age 31. The relationship improved significantly when Donald began writing a book, The Inside Ride: Letters Between Fathers and Sons, about their correspondence, culminating in a touching end where he would write letters for his father who had difficulty due to Parkinson's disease, and they expressed mutual love on national television.
