Patterns that feel normal because it is “just how it’s always been” may actually be contributing to your suffering. Even as independent adults living successful, seemingly satisfying lives, you may find yourself continuing to struggle with anxiety, tension, dissatisfaction, or even feelings of emptiness.  If this is the case and you can answer ‘yes’ to one or more of the questions below, it is likely you are experiencing the long-term effects of unhealthy family relationships.

Do you ever feel like you have a specific role in your family, and that everything would be disrupted if you didn’t do what was expected or what you’ve always done?

Would anyone in your life be mad at you if you spoke up about what you really think?

Do you worry that anyone in your life would be very upset if they knew how you really felt?

Do you ever feel like you can’t share your true feelings with people in your life?

Have you every felt responsible for another adult’s feelings and behaviors?

Do you ever feel simultaneous anger and guilt toward someone?

Have you ever felt that your feelings seem to upset others in your life or cause you problems when you express them?
