After a year of running Confident Boundaries alongside my therapy practice, I’m reflecting on the journey—what worked, what didn’t, and how I’ve evolved my approach to supporting adult children of BPD and NPD parents.

Expanding beyond therapy has allowed me to help more people through coaching, community, and this podcast. And, in this episode I share:

 ✔️ Why I created the Confident Boundaries umbrella (way before the online community)
✔️ How I've been able to bridge the gap for those who couldn’t work with me in therapy
 ✔️ My initial resistance to coaching (and what changed my mind)
 ✔️ My decision to eliminate YouTube video recordings and the reason why

If you’re struggling with setting boundaries with a BPD or NPD parent, make sure to join my free workshop by registering at confidentboundaries.com/boundariesworkshop

I'll show you how to frame boundaries with BPD and NPD parents effectively, manage guilt and anxiety so they no longer stop you, and enforce boundaries when your parent pushes back (because obviously they will).
