MY APPROACH TO HELPING I help people who struggle with adult parent-child relationships. I help stop the vicious cycle of guilt, shame, and overly controlled behavior. My clients struggle as you do. My clients report a parent who ignored them literally. They tried everything they could to please the parent and get the parent to see them, but they never did. The feeling that they aren’t good enough is pervasive. Even in areas where they earn awards and respect, they worry that they will hear the...
