When you grow up walking on eggshells around a parent, you often find yourself second-guessing your instincts, struggling with overwhelming guilt, and carrying the emotional load in your relationships as an adult. My therapy practice is focused on supporting adults who grew up with a parent they suspect has borderline or narcissistic personality disorder. Growing up in this type of family dynamic trains you to constantly doubt yourself and assume complete responsibility for prioritizing everyone else’s comfort above your own. It’s stressful, exhausting, and can leave you feeling defeated.
In therapy, I'll help you build trust in yourself and confidence in your decision-making, navigate chaos and conflict without hopping into problem-solving mode, and approach relationships in a way that is sustainable and where your needs are met.
Growing up with a parent with borderline or narcissistic traits is complicated. It’s a pain that’s hard to explain but cuts deeply. I’d love to support you in addressing the way this dynamic has impacted your life by working together in therapy. To get started, please schedule a free phone consultation through the link on my website.
