Setting Boundaries with a Parent You Suspect Has Borderline or Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Setting boundaries with a parent who has borderline or narcissistic personality disorder feels impossible, but it's not. In less than an hour, I'll teach you my 3-step strategy for effectively setting boundaries with a parent who has borderline or narcissistic personality disorder. 

LET'S DO THIS!
how to set boundaries with a narcissistic parent

I know you’ve tried. I also know that setting boundaries with your parent probably seems impossible.

You say no—then spiral.
You speak up—then wonder if you overreacted.
You try to hold the line—but their guilt, anger, or silence makes you feel like the villain.

It’s not that you haven’t tried hard enough. It’s that no one ever taught you how to protect your peace when the person harming you…is your parent.

Most advice wasn’t made for people with emotionally immature or narcissistic parents, which is why it doesn't work. That’s the reason you’re stuck.

And that’s why I built Confident Boundaries—to give you real support that actually works in your kind of family. Start setting boundaries with toxic parents, now.

24/7 SCRIPTS AND HELP WHEN YOU SPIRAL →

You're not broken.

You've just been trained to think that you are.

You were taught to manage their emotions.
To anticipate the blowup.
To keep the peace, even when it broke you.

That's conditioning—not a personal flaw. And, I can't wait to help you break free from it.

I’m Torie Wiksell—a licensed therapist, boundaries coach, and someone who grew up with a narcissist mom. I built Confident Boundaries so you could stop surviving and finally start healing. I can't wait to help you catch your breath and find the light at the end of the tunnel.

You're Not Crazy-

But I’m guessing your toxic parent has worked hard to convince you that you are.
Ask Cha
My podcast, “You’re Not Crazy,” is where it all starts to make sense. Every week I break down the emotional manipulation, double standards, and guilt cycles adult with toxic parents live in—so you can finally get some clarity.

I also share personal stories of growing up with a narcissist mom and how I work on being an emotionally healthy adult, mom, and therapist myself.

New episodes every Tuesday.

No BS. No toxic positivity. A little profanity. A lot of validation.
