It's okay to set boundaries with friends ❤️

Worrying about how others might react to your boundaries is completely normal. But instead of expecting a negative response, consider the possibility that your friend will listen and respect what you need.

Covert narcissism is sometimes disguised as altruism — and that's not just a nod to Taylor Swift. This subtler form of narcissism is set apart by hyper-focusing on internalized feelings of self-importance. Here's how to avoid it and how to cope.

A little lesson on setting boundaries...#codependencyrecovery #boundaries #abuse

Much of my work with clients involves teaching how to set boundaries with others. This is a very difficult thing to learn and a difficult thing to teach as it requires a lot of patience on the part of the coach as well as the learner.
