Work
Have you ever noticed that the boss you can’t stand reminds you of your mother with whom you have always had a conflicted relationship? Maybe you see how you have recreated the same position at work as you had in your family growing up—the leader, the baby, the clown, the fixer, etc. It is common for people to unknowingly seek out employment settings that mirror their family life growing up, with unhealthy masquerading as “normal,” comfortable only because it is familiar. Fresh eyes from an experienced mental health professional can help you see and break old patterns that may be holding you back from the life and career you seek and deserve.
