Growing up in an emotionally unstable home where you can’t predict how adults will react creates hypervigilance. Thinking everyone is mad or upset with you, fearing you’ve done something wrong, or constantly asking “is everything ok” becomes a way to cope with the anxiety.

Your role is no longer that child who needs to guess or be on guard around your parent’s mood.
Imagine your therapist remembering every person that is important to you that you mention in session so that you can tell the stories of your life effortlessly in your healing journey and then doing the same for the other 40 or more people on their caseload at any given time…
