When parent-teen intimacy becomes self-conscious

My teenage daughter and I used to talk about everything but now our conversations feel like we're both trying too hard to connect the way we used to, and I can see her noticing that I'm noticing her pulling away which makes us both more self-conscious.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The natural evolution of family closeness can become fraught when both parties feel the loss of what was while struggling to find what comes next.
