I think it's really important to emphasize that when you decide to go no contact with a family member, it isn't a decision set in stone. As you heal and recover, you might find a way to have a relationship with boundaries that work for you.
Ever wondered how music can be a lifeline in the midst of family chaos? Andrea sits down with alt-indie rocker Matt Kollock to explore this very question. In this episode of 'Adult Child', Matt opens up about his new album 'Family Plot', which dives deep into the turbulent waters of his dysfunctional childhood. Growing up in a sheltered and isolated environment, Matt often felt like the 'too-sensitive' boy who couldn't quite fit in.
But instead of letting his past define him, he used it as fuel for his artistic journey. The first half of 'Family Plot' paints a raw picture of his childhood trauma and neglect, while the second half celebrates his empowering decision to cut ties with his toxic family. Through candid conversations and heartfelt music, Matt reveals how going 'no contact' has been a transformative step towards healing.
If you're grappling with similar issues or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a beacon of hope and a reminder that creative expression can be a powerful tool for recovery.
