If you often put others’ needs before your own, you might start to feel frustrated, burnt out, or resentful. These habits often come from family dynamics, trauma, or societal expectations—and can leave you feeling out of control.
Counseling can help you heal from past unhealthy relationships, build a sense of safety, and develop healthier boundaries—both with others and yourself. It’s about putting yourself higher on your priority list, while still caring for those around you.
Boundaries help you feel balanced and in control, while encouraging others to treat you with respect. Therapy will teach you to sit with discomfort and face difficult conversations - a super important life skill. You’ll learn how to care for yourself as well as others, honor your own needs/feelings, and create healthier relationships.
By having boundaries, you’ll be able to give back from a healthy place - rather than out of guilt, obligation, or fear.
