Understanding covert incest as a sexual violation is less clear, since direct sexual contact does not occur. This is not to imply that it's easy to identify or sort feelings of overt incest. It is not. However, similar feelings and dynamics are at work with a covert incest.
Ever heard of covert incest? In this thought-provoking episode of 'My Blueprint: Struggle Towards Emotional Sobriety', Michael Stoller dives into Kenneth M. Adams, Ph.D.'s book 'Silently Seduced: When Parents Make Their Children Partners'. Michael shares his personal reflections from his time at The Meadows, a renowned rehabilitation center in Arizona.
He discusses how this eye-opening book introduced him to the concept of covert incest—a form of emotional abuse where a parent turns their child into a partner without any physical sexual contact. Michael explains how these hidden dynamics can deeply affect adult relationships, often leading to issues with intimacy and emotional support. Michael candidly talks about his own experiences with enmeshment and how it impacted his relationship with his mother.
He highlights the tools and strategies offered in the book for recognizing and healing from these covert incestuous relationships. The episode also touches on the importance of accepting personal dependency needs to build healthier, more intimate connections with others. If you’re grappling with relationship struggles, addiction, or emotional trauma, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Michael's honest and heartfelt discussion provides a deeper understanding of covert incest and its long-lasting effects.
Tune in to learn how to navigate these complex emotional landscapes and find a path toward healing.
