Scenario

When parent and teen are both in therapy together but struggling with boundaries

My teenage daughter and I have been doing therapy together for six months after some really hard stuff happened, and we're both committed to healing but I keep finding myself either being too much of a mom or too much of a fellow human and I can't figure out how to be both in this space. She says she wants honesty but then gets defensive when I'm actually honest about how her choices affect me, and I think I'm doing the same thing back to her.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The roles and relational patterns that created the original wound are reasserting themselves even within the healing process.
