Consultation with a Parent
For adults who would like a therapist to help them facilitate an opening with a parent or parents with whom they’ve had chronic or occasionally, more recent—difficulties communicating. This can be particularly useful in a situation where you are at a loss as to how to how just tell the truth in your parent's forcefield. This intervention would require an hour individual session first where you and Nancy would ascertain whether it would be best for you to manage the next step in your process independently or in a session or two where your parents join you with Nancy.
Usually a parent leaves a session with a heightened awareness and some measure of appreciation for increased clarity as to why their relationship with you has been so difficult. That being said, the goal isn't to change your parent, but to create more space for you to feel realer in their presence.
