If you want somebody to change their mind, it takes years.
It takes months.
And the bigger the belief, the more time it's going to take.
It's possible.
I get a lot of questions of people who are estranged from usually adult children.
Their 30-year-old son doesn't want to talk to his mom or a daughter who doesn't want to talk to her dad, and they haven't spoken in three years.
And every time...
I have that kind of conversation.
It breaks my heart because you can tell and look at this parent.
They want to have a conversation with their child.
And you know deep down, so does that child.
They need that relationship.
How do you crack that code?
What I've found most successful and what I teach them is I begin with saying, I know.
I'm not, and I'm open.
And it sounds like this.
I know there's distance between us.
I know things aren't how we both want them to be.
I know I've messed up.
Whatever that is, you're saying what is a given.
