You’ve done everything “right”—
-
You stayed calm
-
You explained yourself
-
You tried to be kind
-
You bent over backward
But the result is always the same:
-
Your words get twisted
-
You’re guilt-tripped, shut out, or screamed at
-
You leave the conversation wondering if you are the problem
You’re not.
You’re a cycle breaker trying to set a boundary with someone who’s never respected one in their life.

What You'll Learn...
One
Why your words never land—even when you say them “perfectly”
This isn’t about your delivery. It’s about control.
For emotionally immature, narcissistic, or borderline parents, boundaries feel like rejection—and they react like you’ve betrayed them. This course helps you understand why they don't respond reasonably, no matter how lovingly you phrase it.
Two
How borderline and narcissistic traits show up in families like yours
Emotional chaos, guilt, rage, and manipulation? That’s not love—it’s dysfunction.
We’ll untangle what’s really going on in your parent’s behavior so you can finally stop second-guessing yourself and start seeing clearly.
Three
What you’re actually up against—and how to emotionally prepare for change
You’re not just setting a boundary—you’re disrupting a lifelong power dynamic. That’s why it feels terrifying.
This course helps you identify what your parent can’t give you so you can invest your energy towards things that are actually within your control.
About Me
Hey, I’m Torie—licensed therapist, coach, and woman who grew up in the eye of the storm with a mother I suspect had narcissistic personality disorder (with lots of BPD traits).
I know exactly how it feels to walk on eggshells, over-explain yourself, and still get steamrolled, blamed, and shamed.
That’s why I created this course—so you can stop gaslighting yourself and finally name what’s been at the root of the chaos all along.

“Someone who finally GETS IT!!!
Torie gets it. I finally feel seen/heard/validated and then appropriately guided going through life with a parent who can frequently be quite a struggle to deal with. I’m SO excited to learn more from her.”
“Sometimes I feel like no one understands my situation …
and most information available is about romantic relationships. Thank you Torie for filling in the gap!”

-
