Do you have people in your life that just take and take. These are the people that you need to get rid of. If you don't, your quality of life will suffer. When you do put up boundaries and stick with them, you will feel much better!!

I got an email stating that I was a conman because what the client wanted to happen didn't happen. Relationships aren't easy and people can't be controlled. If you rely on your therapist to solve your problems you WILL be disappointed.
