Coaching Your Family Relationships
Is your relationship with your adult child strained, distant, or heading toward estrangement?
Do you replay conversations, walk on eggshells, or wonder what you did wrong?
Are you dealing with family conflict, difficult adult children, or toxic in-laws — and feeling powerless to fix it?
You’re not alone.
I’m Tina Gosney, Family Conflict Coach and Family Life Educator. I help parents move from anxiety, overfunctioning, and emotional reactivity to calm, confident connection — even when their adult child won’t change.
Grounded in Bowen Family Systems theory and nervous system science, this podcast will help you:
1. Understand why stress spreads through a family system
2. Recognize patterns like overfunctioning, fixing, triangles, and emotional cutoff
3. Stop walking on eggshells
4. Navigate adult child conflict without losing yourself
5. Repair strained relationships with your adult child in a healthy way
At the heart of this work is the Differentiated Connection Map — balancing two core needs in every family:
• Closeness and belonging
• Individuality and autonomy
Through my HEAL framework, you’ll learn how to:
Hold onto yourself
Engage with calm clarity
Allow space for difference
Lead with grounded love
You cannot control your adult child.
But you can change your position in the system.
And when one parent becomes steadier, the entire family shifts.
If you’re searching for how to repair your relationship with your adult child and reduce family conflict without losing yourself — you’re in the right place.

Needing to Be Right - Losing Strategy #1
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.

126 - Needing to be Right
Our brains have a natural need to be right, and that comes from the way we take in our experiences and make meaning of them. We each have a different way of taking in experiences and how we make meaning of them, and that works directly against forming strong relationship connections with others when we fight for our view of the world and refuse to see an alternative view.
Needing to be right and fighting for that right is one of the losing relationship strategies I’ll be covering the next few weeks. This is part 1 of a 7-part series on Losing Relationship Strategies.
I’ll be teaching a class on what to do instead of using these losing strategies. The link to register for this class is coming next week.
Strategy Call
If you don’t want to wait for the class, set up a Strategy call with me. Use this call to try out coaching and see if it’s a good fit for you, or to work on one relationship problem you’re having. We’ll work for about an hour and you’ll walk away from this call with at least one, but probably two or three different strategies to begin using. I’ll help you to begin moving from transactional thinking to relational thinking. The price for this call will be going up April 2024. Schedule yours right now at the current low price of $25.
