Most of us feel anxious at the thought of reliving the complicated and often painful experiences of our youth. When we receive a school reunion notice, we might be tempted to ignore it. Yet, on an archetypal level, we are drawn to re-unifying our current and past identities. If we accept the invitation, we may find unexpected joy and forgotten memories that restore something inside us.

Prepare to discover why we plan and attend reunions, whether healing comes from reexperiencing our younger self, how Deb and Joe were affected by attending their reunions, whether it's worth the effort to reconnect with school friends, what's the best attitude to bring to a reunion, and even more…

Let’s take a walk down memory lane…vodka in water bottles, clip in hair extensions and hook ups in your childhood home. Smells like the biggest drinking night of the year – aka blackout Wednesday. STORYTIME! Big Al has experienced a Blackout Wednesday (or two) … let's expose a few more of Father Cooper’s hometown horror stories. How do you think it went the first time she brought Mr. Sexy Zoom Man home to meet her family? (Spoiler alert: a complete disaster). Daddy Gang, you know the drill...we need to sprinkle in a bit of health and wellness. Alex ends the episode by having a conversation with clinical psychologist Dr. Suzanne Wallach and the two discuss a variety of tactics anyone (even if you aren’t in therapy) can implement when it comes to difficult family situations during the holidays. Dr. Wallach addresses topics ranging from boundary setting to disordered eating and grief. Enjoy! This episode includes discussion of eating disorders.
