Navigating Life with Borderline Parents: Practical Tools and Insights
“For many people, they need to grieve a lost childhood. We want to help them understand the grieving process, review messages they received in childhood about dealing with losses when you're working or when you're living with somebody who vacillates from idealization to devaluation, there's very little connection.”
