Caller Questions & Discussion:

1. Becky asks: How do we repair a relationship? She explains that some people are using AI to replace human therapists, but AI cannot repair a rupture in a relationship. Becky offers practical suggestions for rebuilding connection.
2. My 17-year-old granddaughter thinks her father, my son, is trying to contact her. How do we tell her the truth—that there is a court order preventing him from seeing her and that he has sexually abused children?
3. I just found out my 16-year-old son has been cutting, has had suicidal thoughts, and has had dreams about suicide. What do I do?
4. I’ve been in recovery from sex addiction for 9 years after childhood sexual abuse and other painful experiences, and then my wife divorced me. Should I focus on overcoming my maladaptive coping mechanisms or improving my mental health?
5. Yesterday on the radio, Dr. Jill said your spouse can’t be the only one you depend on for friendship. I’m autistic, so friendship looks different for me than my wife.
