Manage episode 360864002 series 3423359
In today’s episode, we are making invisible things visible for people courageously living in step- or blended families. I'm speaking with psychotherapist Connie Marasco, who has both lived and clinical experience, working to help blended or step family life feel supported.
We cover:
- Connie and Christina’s experiences stepkid and stepmom respectively,
- The myths about blended families and hard things no one talks about feeling,
- The importance of the step-parent and step child relationship, and
- Concepts from human development that parents can use to help shape their efforts with their kids.
Resources mentioned in the show:
- Recommended reading: Stepfamilies: Love, parenting and marriage in the first decade by James Bray, PhD., and Parenting Apart: How Separated and Divorced Parents Can Raise Happy and Secure Kids by Christina McGhee

About our guest:
Connie Marasco is a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with a masters degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and additional training in trauma, couples therapy, ADHD-informed psychotherapy and more recently, equine-assisted therapy. In addition to the skills she’s learned in practice and training, she also uses her wicked sense of humor, unrelenting curiosity and personal experience with mental health, to help create positive change for her clients.
