Hostile Holidays: When Visiting Home Makes You Feel Worse

If you spent time with your family during the holiday season and felt like NONE of your progress in therapy or self-growth was present for it, you're in the right place. Join us as we discuss why adult children tend to regress back to an unhealthy childlike self in the presence of their toxic parents! We explore how this also affects our self-worth, relationships, and ability to trust ourselves and others.

Content warnings: Narcissistic traits, unhealthy boundaries with family, guilt and grief.
