Repair Without Control:
Living With the Parent-Child
Relationship You Have

With Samantha Duggan, PhD

About the workshop

Many people in recovery find that even after insight and apology, relationships do not change in the ways they hoped. This workshop focuses on the inner work of repair: how to carry regret, love, grief, and limits without becoming governed by them.

Rather than asking how to fix the relationship, this workshop asks harder, more honest questions: How do I live with integrity if the relationship does not change? How do I hold distance without hardening or withdrawing? How do I grieve what cannot be repaired without collapsing into shame? How do I stop waiting for repair and start living forward?

The workshop combines short teaching segments with guided reflection and written exercises. Sharing is optional and carefully structured. The focus is on clarity, discernment, and internal steadiness, not emotional release.

Participants leave with a clearer internal compass, a steadier relational posture, and a greater sense of freedom, regardless of external outcome.

What we'll explore together

• Understanding the hidden cost of waiting for repair
• Learning to hold grief without self-erasure
• Distinguishing healthy distance from withdrawal or avoidance
• Cultivating self-respect and consistency in adult relationships
• Exploring how to let go of outcome without giving up on love

About the presenter

Our workshops and community gatherings are educational and recovery-supportive. They complement, rather than replace, professional mental health care or your existing recovery program. Guest presenters contribute as independent experts and their participation does not constitute a therapeutic relationship.
