Does saying no make you uncomfortable or lead to ruminating thoughts?

Setting boundaries in your personal and professional lives can be challenging and overwhelming. It can feel uncomfortable to say ‘no’ or to establish limits with others. This is particularly common if you tend to avoid conflict and have people-pleasing tendencies. When you fail to set boundaries, you are prioritizing the needs of others rather than yourself. This can lead to feelings of overwhelm, resentment, and a deep sense that you are being taken advantage of. 

Boundaries are an important part of any healthy relationship, be it with yourself or others. Therapy can help you learn to set boundaries in a way you feel confident about. Together, we can explore the root causes of why it is difficult to set boundaries and develop skills and strategies to set healthy boundaries in the future. Learn to say ‘no’ with confidence.

Does your child consistently challenge or push social standards or rules?

Although expressed differently, behaviors may include aggression towards other people, vandalizing property, deceiving, bullying, threatening, manipulation, theft, and intentional rule breaking. Commonly, individuals with conduct disorders don’t feel or express remorse for their action.

Therapy is helpful for individuals with conduct disorders as well as their support system. It is effective in helping individuals develop self-awareness, emotional regulation, and coping strategies.
