Assure them no love is lost
Though your personal work may seem like it’s driving a wedge between you and your family, Dr. Ebony says, “Reassure them that while you’re growing and healing, you will not judge them for their journey and that the core love you have for them will not change. Sometimes all family needs is reassurance that they are not losing you and that you are not judging them…It might also be necessary to create boundaries with anyone who is not willing to support your growth. If people are determined to see you as a threat regardless of what you tell them, you can protect your mental and emotional health by creating boundaries with them and adjust what the relationship looks like with them.”
