Dr. Phil McGraw advises that family members must acknowledge toxic behaviors and stop withdrawing from the situation to heal their relationships.

“Then, look, you don't change what you don't acknowledge. And if we're going to fix the situation, you you seriously you've got to acknowledge what's wrong and what's toxic in a situation.”

Family therapy and interventions can provide necessary opportunities to improve family communication.

“I guess the positive part of it was that Dr. Phil said enough to us to get us to sit down and talk. This wouldn't have happened in this lifetime had it not been for Dr. Phil's intervention.”

Kippy acknowledges that the current family dynamic is not working and that they need professional help.

“It's why I'm here, Dr. Phil. I want to make it right for Tori. I want to make it right for all of us. We We all need help.”
