Am I Enmeshed With My Mom? Signs of Mother-Son Enmeshment & What To Do

Licensed Therapist Mary Beth Somich joins Kristie and Felicia to demystify the concept of enmeshment in families, especially between mothers and sons. They look at what enmeshment actually means (hint: blurred boundaries and no space for individuality), where it comes from, and why it’s so tough to break free from. Some takeaways: How enmeshment manifests in real life The effects of enmeshment on adult romantic and family relationships Why setting boundaries can often feel like “rocking the boat” How to shift to healthy connections without cutting ties For sponsorships, please reach out to wytt@besttherapists.com Be the first to join the upcoming WYTT Substack Follow Felicia on Instagram Follow WYTT on Instagram Connect with Mary Beth: www.yourjourneythrough.com *Hosts: Kristie Plantinga and Felicia Keller Boyle *Watch full episodes on YouTube: What Your Therapist Thinks *Brought to you by BestTherapists.com *Produced by PodVision.
