Episode 54: Miss You, Love You, Mean It… From a Distance (The One Where Michelle Talks About Family Struggles/Drama And No or Low Contact)

If your family stresses you out more than your job, your bills, and your group chat combined… this episode is for you. In this episode of Shrink Wrapped, we’re unpacking toxic family dynamics, emotional boundaries, guilt, low contact vs. no contact, and the complicated reality of loving people who still damage your mental health. We’re talking about family trauma, people-pleasing, survival mode, dysfunctional relationships, and why protecting your peace doesn’t make you selfish. Expect honest conversation, irreverent humor, and validation for anyone who’s ever felt calmer away from their own family. Because sometimes the healthiest boundary is distance — and that grief is real too.Join us on the O'Neil Counseling app here: ⁠https://www.oneilcounseling.com/app-landing-page
