- Over-focused on caring for, fixing, controlling, pleasing, and/or conflict-avoiding
- Adult children of an addict
- Spending session talking about someone else
- Having difficulty allowing their children to become independent
- “Too resilient”; downplay suffering, forget how hard something was
- Struggling to leave an abusive situation or relationship
- Afraid to make necessary changes despite being unhappy
- Numb or unaware of what they want or feel
- And more!
