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

Other people can't grasp this type of toxic family dynamic. 

If you’ve spent years wondering whether it was really “that bad,” you’re not imaging things. When a parent has borderline, narcissistic, or histrionic traits, the harm is quiet, confusing, and almost impossible to explain to people who haven't lived it. On the outside everything can look "fine" while the reality is so much more complicated, stressful, and chaotic.

The Confident Boundaries Membership is an online community designed for adults who are invested in their personal growth, yet still feel alone in their healing journey. It’s a space for education and community that actually understands these types of complicated family dynamics. This is the place you finally get to feel seen and understood.

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.
