When defending yourself harder and over-explaining yourself is not working, we can help.

Do you feel guilty when trying to assert your needs? No matter what you do, you feel unappreciated, unjustly blamed, and made to feel that you are the issue, and you even apologize for that?

You feel like your family and romantic relationships are dysfunctional and filled with negativity.

Now, you might feel overwhelmed by self-doubt, uncertainty, or intense emotions, noticing how the past continues to impact your present connections.
