Therapy for Boundaries & Relationships

IN-PERSON IN LITTLE SILVER, NEW JERSEY & ONLINE

Let go of overfunctioning and learn to care for yourself

Many of us learned as children that if we took care of other people's emotional needs, we could manage our anxiety and feel a sense of control. So we scanned others' moods and behaviors, sensing what they needed and taking action.  

Maybe you've been living this way for years without realizing its impact to you: feeling confused in relationships, anxious when another person is uncomfortable, feeling resentful and living with exhaustion and overwhelm all the time.

 

Learning to care for yourself takes time as you come to understand the dynamics at play and how these patterns shaped you.

 

As you understand your own emotional needs, you'll set boundaries and communicate with clarity, getting comfortable with the anxiety that surfaces and the fear of letting others down. 

Over time, you'll experience a sense of clarity about yourself and your needs, you'll know how to respond to others and feel a sense of grounded confidence.

  • Understanding relationship patterns and early attachment
