   Repairing Fractured Families: An Interview with Noah Dyer

   According to Karl Pillemer’s research (Karl was a guest on our podcast in 2020—you can find our interview with Karl here), in recent years about a quarter of Americans are involved in some kind of family estrangement at any given time. And this trend is supported by a growing infrastructure of influencers who urge people to cut off contact with family members as a good way to solve relationship problems. Our guest in this episode is Noah Dyer. Noah’s son shocked him one day by suddenly cutting him off—no contact—a painful situation that lasted seven years. When he was finally able to reconcile with his son, Noah reflected on his experience and developed a framework, a set of principles that can help families heal rifts and grow stronger together Noah’s website is https://noahdyer.com/.

   How Can You Justify Cheating?

   I’ve posted a bunch of reels and podcast clips about helping couples recover from infidelity. And among the comments on those postings, there’s a common theme: How can you imply that the person who was betrayed is somehow to blame for the cheater’s behavior? I recognize that it’s a very fine line between justifying immoral behavior—which I don’t want to do—and examining the context in which it occurred—which I think is vital to healing. Judy and I talk about this issue. Let us know what you think! Have you been cheated on, and have you been able to heal from it? Have you been a cheater? -------------------------- Free resources are available at https://brucechalmer.com. Do you have ideas for topics or guests for our podcast?
