Finding the right therapist can feel like navigating a minefield, especially when you're dealing with the complexities of a parent with borderline or narcissistic personality disorder. Ever been told to maintain contact with toxic family members because it's "good for your mental health"? I have, and let me tell you, it was eye-opening—and not in a good way. On this episode of "You're Not Crazy," I share my personal journey, the highs and lows, and the invaluable lessons learned from both stellar and subpar therapists.
We challenge outdated beliefs in the mental health community, particularly the harmful notion that family ties should always be preserved. Imagine if we advised victims of other types of abuse in the same way! Listen in as I discuss how I found the right therapeutic support and the red flags to watch out for. Empower yourself to seek out therapists who genuinely understand the unique challenges you face, even if it means breaking away from traditional advice. Join this candid conversation aimed at validating your experiences and prioritizing your well-being.
