Therapy for Adult Children of Dysfunctional Families
Heal Old Wounds So You Can Live With Freedom
Growing up with emotionally immature, neglectful, or addicted parents leaves deep marks. When your emotional needs weren’t met, you may have learned to stay small, people-please, or constantly anticipate others’ moods just to feel safe. As an adult, these old survival patterns can show up in your relationships, self-worth, or even your own parenting.
Therapy is a space to understand and heal those patterns. You’ll reconnect with your inner child, build self-trust, and create the kind of life and relationships you’ve always hoped for.
Common Struggles Adult Children of Dysfunction Face
Feeling responsible for everyone else’s needs
Difficulty setting and keeping boundaries
Guilt, shame, or self-blame
Attracting unhealthy relationships
Struggles with trust and intimacy
Feeling triggered or overwhelmed by your own children’s needs
