Family normally provides you with security, safety and supportive acceptance. A form of symbiosis in action that is interdevelopmental. Conflicts generally arise from unfulfilled expectations but there may also be generational aspects of family problems, so the past needs to be resolved to make today workable.

Boundaries are an imaginary line of protection that you draw around you. This is done to protect you, your soul and what’s important to you.
