how to set boundaries with a narcissistic parent

It's possible to set boundaries with your kind of parent

Most people don’t understand the trauma of growing up with a parent who has narcissistic, borderline, or histrionic traits. On the outside everything can look "fine" while inside you’re drowning in guilt, emotional whiplash, and the pressure to stay connected. 

Of course "normal" boundary advice often fails. It doesn't address the guilt you've been programmed to feel or the self-doubt that's built up throughout your lifetime.

Confident Boundaries with Toxic Parents is different. It explains why these types of parent relationships feel so impossible to navigate and shows you how to deal with the manipulation and guilt that make boundaries fail.

Meet Torie.

The therapist on a mission to help cycle breakers set healthy boundaries and heal.

You might know me from my podcast, You're Not Crazy, or my social media posts calling out abuse that is so often normalized in dysfunctional families.

I grew up with a toxic parent (a mom I believe had narcissistic personality disorder and a lot of BPD traits). I know what it's like to grow up walking on eggshells knowing both the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde versions of your parent so many others never see. 

I built Confident Boundaries to show you how to finally move forward with confidence instead of fear.

You're not the problem.

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

You were taught to manage your parent's 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 cycle breaker who grew up with a narcissist mom. I built Confident Boundaries to help you 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.

Clarity for Adults Navigating Toxic Parent Relationships

Unravel what’s happening in your family system, and learn how to move forward with confidence, not self-doubt.

The Confident Boundaries Membership is for adults navigating complicated relationships with a toxic parent, specifically parents with narcissistic, borderline, or histrionic personality traits.

Inside, you’ll gain specialized education that helps you make sense of dynamics that often feel impossible to explain or resolve. Members learn why these relationships are so uniquely destabilizing, how common patterns show up, and what actually helps when you’re trying to make grounded, healthy decisions.

This is a space for people who are committed to breaking the cycle by building clarity, self-trust, and the ability to respond without spiraling, over-explaining, or second-guessing themselves.

✔︎ Two 90-minute live boundaries support and Q&A calls each month with Torie (action-oriented, skill-focused implementation)
✔ A private community with other cycle breakers who understand these dynamics
✔ Monthly educational workshops on patterns like gaslighting, guilt, and flying monkeys
✔ Full access to a growing library of practical tools and trainings
