Read More »You aren’t honest with others when you feel you’re not being treated right. As a counselor in Orlando, all too often I see clients in therapy that do not feel like they have a voice. For any number of reasons, they do not feel like they can stand up for themselves, or they fear doing so will push people away or make them seem rude. My first role as a therapist is to empower you to find and use your voice if it will be helpful in your life. Letting other people define you or give your life meaning. If you allow your identity to be defined by those around you, then you are not living an authentic life. You are also allowing other people to tell you how you “should” be. The only expert on you, is you. Therapy with a counselor in Orlando will help you reclaim your identity and still manage the relationships with those you love. Saying “no” makes you feel guilty or like you letting people down. As an Orlando therapist I see this a lot. Especially with “people-pleasers.” It can be hard to say no to people you care about. Just try to remember that saying no doesn’t mean you are being mean or selfish. It means that you are valuing yourself and making sure that you have enough left over for you after you have helped people you care for. Trying to please everyone around you just so you can feel needed. If feeling needed makes you feel full, it might be time to examine why. When you allow your role’s (mother, wife, friend, husband, etc), in life to define you, then you lose sight of who you are. You have a right to be something outside of these roles and to embrace that part of you. Accepting things even when you don’t want them. Do you have a hard time turning down offers, gifts, invitations, or requests? This falls in line with the previous unhealthy boundary. If you have trouble turning down things or taking things when you don’t need, want, or like them, you could end up feeling overburdened or resentful. Life is about balance and in Orlando therapy, exploring ways to keep that balance is very important for better quality of life. Being unable to handle something just so someone can take care of it for you. On a subconscious level, many times people with unhealthy boundaries will “fall apart” just so other’s can help put things back together. It can feel good when you get attention, help, or are noticed, but the reality is that you are a capable, independent human being. Allowing yourself to fall into “victim” mode just to get your emotional needs met is a bad habit to get into.

Read More »Falling quickly for someone you don’t know well, or who has reconnected with you. Facebook, online dating apps, and social media is a great example of how this unhealthy boundary plays out all too often. It takes time to build a relationship, to court someone, and to build the foundation for love. If you find that you fall in love quickly with people you just meet, or someone from your past that reached out to from social media, you might have trouble with boundaries. The false sense of immediate connection that someone can feel when they exchange texts or messages over a period of time does not equate to truly getting to know a person. Crossing someone’s physical boundaries without permission. If you find yourself being pushy with your affection onto others, or in situations where others are pushy onto you, ask yourself what is going on. As an Orlando counselor, I often have to screen for trauma and being physically or sexually violated by someone or violating someone else can leave permanent emotional damage. Letting someone touch you or have sex with you even if you don’t want to. You should never allow someone to touch you or have sex with you if you do not want them to. This may seem like an obvious boundary that wouldn’t be crossed, but all too often, I from clients who struggle with this one. The reasons why you might be struggling with maintaining this boundary should be explored in counseling Orlando. Maybe it’s a need to feel loved, or not being able to say “no,” or you feel like you have an obligation to do something with someone.
