[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of all the stuff that people bring to therapists, this is actually one of the easier ones. --A therapist[/quote] Op here- easy as in, it's easy for you to help them handle it or easy because what you suggest they do is something most people find doable and successful? I mostly need help disconnecting from feeling attached to her problems. I've always wanted to help and the help doesn't work. But the stress of her life makes me sick- I worry myself to death over it and every 3-4 months it's some new catastrophe. I don't want to cut off all contact but I need help determining and reinforcing healthy boundaries and accepting if her life is terrible, it's not because I didn't try to help or that anything I tried to do COULD help. I have tried Al Anon before and did not find it helpful. I am hopeful therapy may be more useful and give me real tools. Is there a particular kind of therapist I should seek? Family therapist?[/quote]
