Scenario

When family bonds are built on shared self-criticism and one person wants to change

My sister and I have always bonded over feeling like the 'difficult' ones in our family, but now that I'm trying to work on my self-compassion, she seems to feel like I'm abandoning our shared identity. Every time I don't join in when she's being hard on herself, there's this tension like I'm betraying our sisterhood.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
