    Confessions - my family ask too much of me
    Nov 22 2024
    Today Anna tackles a new anonymous Confession from the Therapy Room;

    "I'm finding the needs of my extended family exhausting. With both my partner and I having divorced and remarried parents, seeing enough of our family feels like a constant pressure and the end result is that we spend every weekend and bit of downtime with them and never have any time just us. How do we make them understand without making them feel like we don't care about them? I'm pretty good at boundary settings in every area of life apart from this one!"

    Anna replies with some compassionate advice and tips that will help everyone, regardless of whether they can relate to this confession or not.
