Therapy Thoughts - Setting Boundaries
Boundaries are an important topic to discuss leading into the holiday season. Boundaries can be difficult to identify and implement.
Some signs boundaries may be too porous include feeling resentment, feeling stretched too thin, feeling that others problems are yours to solve, feeling that others emotions are yours to change, dishonesty about how you feel to avoid a conflict, and difficulty saying no or avoiding it altogether.
Signs boundaries are too rigid include lack of flexibility, difficulty being open with others, and feeling lonely due to lack of interpersonal closeness. If any of this resonates, take a moment and reflect on your boundaries and what may need to be adjusted. If you're having trouble making these adjustments, consider starting therapy.

Eating disorders impact the entire family system, and while so much of the treatment process is focused on the client, the caregivers tend to struggle at home with minimal support. Join Dallas Nutritional Counseling for a two-hour parent workshop, where we will bridge the gap between what the client needs and what the family needs. In this workshop you will gain a deeper understanding of the vital role you play in the recovery process, connect with other families going through the recovery process, and feel more confident in supporting your loved one. We will also be joined by Hila Eyal whose daughter struggled with an eating disorder and now is in recovery. Hila will share their family story of how they navigated the recovery process at the beginning, in the middle, and now ongoing.
