This Type of Family Dynamic Is Hard to Explain Unless You’ve Lived It.

Most people don’t understand the trauma of growing up with a parent who has narcissistic, borderline, or histrionic traits. On the outside everything can look "fine" while inside you’re drowning in guilt, emotional whiplash, and the pressure to stay connected.

Confident Boundaries with Toxic Parents is different. It explains why these types of families are so hard to deal with and how to deal with the manipulation and guilt that make boundaries feel completely impossible.

You're not the problem.

But You've probably been trained to think that you are.

Growing up with a toxic parent teaches you to manage your parent's emotions by sacrificing your own needs.

You learn that the most important thing is to anticipate, prepare for, and prevent the blow up. And when you inevitably fail to do so, you learn to blame yourself.

I know this cycle like the back of my hand. I’m Torie, a therapist, boundaries coach, and cycle breaker raised by a narcissist mom (who had a lot of BPD traits). 

I built Confident Boundaries to help you understand the toxic dynamic you're dealing with, so you can finally move forward with confidence instead of fear.

You're not the problem.

You've just been trained to think that you are.

You were taught to manage your parent's emotions.
To anticipate the blowup.
To keep the peace, even when it broke you.

That's conditioning, not a personal flaw. And, I can't wait to help you break free from it.

I’m Torie Wiksell, a licensed therapist, boundaries coach, and cycle breaker who grew up with a narcissist mom. I built Confident Boundaries to help you stop surviving and finally start healing. I can't wait to help you catch your breath and find the light at the end of the tunnel.
