Challenging Family Relationships

• Do the dynamics in your family leave you feeling exhausted and drained?

• Do you wonder if the trapped feeling you get when you are around them is normal?

• Has the “closeness” you have always felt with your family started to feel toxic?

When you consider your family relationships, you would consider yourselves tight knit. You remember your childhood fondly, and feel lucky when you compare your family to those around you who don’t really have relationships with their family members.

And yet, more recently, you have started to wonder why there always seems to be some kind of drama going on in your family; drama that you are required to take part in or help fix. The resulting feelings you experience while dealing with this drama are guilt, shame, deficiency, or isolation.

You have started to question whether this “closeness” you have always felt with your family is real or if it is was an illusion all along.

The dissatisfaction, disappointment and feeling of invisibility in your family is palpable. You feel manipulated and trapped in an endless cycle of gossip and infighting. Without any contradictory evidence, your automatic assumption is that when there is conflict, it is your job to fix it.

You deserve to live your life free of guilt and shame; a love that is free of conditions; a life lived on your own terms -not on the terms of your family.
