Questioning Estrangement

Education, Relationships, Self-Improvement, Society & Culture

Why do relationships end without explanation? How can cutting someone off bring relief and deep longing at the same time? Is the rise in family division a modern trend, an epidemic, or something else entirely?

Welcome to Questioning Estrangement, hosted by estrangement specialists Kelly Rhyne (LCSW, MDiv) and Kreed Revere (CMC, CFEC) where we bring these conversations into the light to investigate our estrangements and explore why we feel so unheard, judged, and misunderstood, one uncomfortable question at a time.

Estrangement is messy, isolating, and deeply painful—not just for those directly involved, but for everyone around them. So much of this experience happens in the dark, leaving us cut off from understanding what is really going on.
