Short Stuff: Empty Nest Syndrome
Send us Fan MailEmpty nest syndrome is one of those things people feel a bit embarrassed to admit to. Your child leaving home is meant to be a success story, so why does the house suddenly feel so wrong? In this episode I look at what's really going on when the nest empties, why it's grief rather than a disorder, what your attachment system is up to when you're still listening for the front door at 11pm, and why the research on what happens next is far more optimistic than you might expect.Support the showJoin the Patreon community https://www.patreon.com/richardnichollsSocial Media…
