Thinking about going no contact with a parent who has borderline or narcissistic personality disorder? Be careful about how you execute that plan and what advice you follow—a recommendation by a popular therapist YouTuber of sending a letter is probably the worst idea I've ever heard. Join me, Torie Wiksell, as I unpack why this seemingly empowering move could be the worst advice you’ve ever received. You’ll learn when writing might actually be helpful and discover less provocative ways to protect yourself from further emotional harm.

In this episode of 'You're Not Crazy,' I dissect the controversial advice of announcing no contact through a letter and outline the potential risks involved. We'll explore the delicate art of boundary-setting, navigating complex family dynamics, and the importance of maintaining your peace of mind. By the end, you’ll have a clearer understanding of why a discreet approach could be your safest bet. Tune in for practical insights and real-world strategies for handling emotionally abusive parents more effectively.
