Family can be one of our deepest sources of connection—and also one of the hardest places to feel understood. Whether it’s old wounds, ongoing tension, or patterns that never seem to shift, family conflict can leave you feeling stuck, heavy, or just… exhausted.
You might find yourself:
- Walking on eggshells to avoid certain topics or reactions
- Being put in a role that no longer fits, like the “peacekeeper,” “fixer,” or “problem child”
- Carrying the emotional load for everyone else
- Struggling to set boundaries, or feeling guilty when you do
- Feeling a mix of resentment, confusion, or grief after visits or calls
- Wishing things felt easier or closer, but not knowing where to start
The truth is, family doesn’t have to be perfect to matter. And working through these dynamics—with support—can help you find more clarity, confidence, and peace. Whether that means changing the relationship, or just changing how it lives within you.
You don’t have to carry it all alone.
