how to set boundaries with a narcissistic parent

When your family's normal is not actually normal.

Most people don’t understand what it’s like to grow up with a parent who has narcissistic or borderline traits. On the outside, everything can look fine. But inside? You’re drowning in guilt, emotional whiplash, and the constant pressure to stay connected no matter the cost to your emotional health and sanity.

Sound familiar? Check out my podcast, You're Not Crazy.

Meet Torie.

The therapist on a mission to help cycle breakers set healthy boundaries and heal.

You might know me from my podcast, You're Not Crazy, or my social media posts calling out the emotional abuse that is often normalized in dysfunctional families.

I grew up with a narcissist mom and know what it's like to grow up walking on eggshells. I get how complicated it is to intimately know the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde versions of your parent so many others never see. 

I also know what it's like to untangle the chaos and start making decisions that protect your emotional wellbeing. I want you to know there's a light at the end of the tunnel and I'm excited to help you find it.

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.
