“Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” -Leo Tolstoy in Anna Karenina

How does a family therapist navigate the challenges of family conflict?

Join Dr. Jennifer Reid as she interviews Dr. Jacqueline Hudak, Ph.D., LMFT, an award-winning family therapy educator and psychotherapist who has been working with individuals, couples, families and groups for over thirty-five years. She is also a clinical supervisor, consultant and published author. 

We discuss:

*How can we connect with family despite ideological or political differences?
