What is the point of therapy unless there is a goal for change? And who should drive that change in therapy? As therapists, are we hoping that endless navel-gazing and a non-directive approach will bring client awareness as a matter of course?
The boundaries in therapy should be established and maintained by the therapist and not the client. Many people come into therapy without knowledge of boundaries or how to set them and are probably used to having what few they have violated.

There will be groups for codependency, dealing with toxic shame, increasing self-esteem and mindful communication for couples.
At this time of year, I like to reflect on what people have been reading on the site. Codependency and codependent relationships were once again prominent topics. Interestingly, unlike previous years, the most popular piece was one on how two codependents interact with each other in a relationship.
