How to protect our children from manipulation?
Most of us are sensitive to manipulation because this was the way we were socialized: “Good children listen to their parents.”

Can Psychotherapy Help When You Feel Like This?
Confused, frustrated, or angry? Full of self-doubt? Unappreciated, and treated badly?
Can counseling really help?
Yes it can.
When you are bright and thoughtful, and full of the desire to love and be loved, being in a toxic relationship with family, friends or co-workers can distort your sense of reality.
You might believe that the blame, shame, and guilt getting shoveled on you is your fault. But that’s not true!
Counseling, also called psychotherapy, can help you see who and what are causing you to feel anxious, depressed, and stressed out.
