Help Ease Your Client's Adult Sibling Rivalry

Sibling rivalry is alive and well, and lurking in the hearts and minds of millions of us. This means now and then you may get a client for whom it's a problem.
And in this video I describe a client in her 70s who still resented her sister, and I'll share five strategies for helping those who still resent, lament, or compete with their siblings, or those who feel they never were treated fairly.

Hi Mark,
Thank you for the video.
In Tip 3 you spoke briefly about "unhooking" her past knots. Was wondering if you have a separate video which covers this (unhook from past) in greater detail. If so, could you please give me the name of the video.
Thanks again

There is a link between intelligence and how many children you have. Smarter people have fewer children.
Thus if you have more siblings it is more likely your parents are just less capable in general.
Meaning it could well be correlation not causation.
If so, the children are suffering not by how many siblings they have but rather the poor quality of parenting they are receiving. Which is only further made worse by time constraints.

Beautiful!

The most demanding child gets more attention.
