Dr. Martin has helped me examine a new relationship and an old relationship to understand why my new relationship cant be judged by the past. She has helped me get over my anxiety over starting a new relationship. She has also helped me move past guilt over my feelings towards my parents and understand how their toxic parenting has impacted my life today. Its possible to acknowledge toxic parenting that is border line abuse while still loving and respecting your parents. For my whole life i thought i was the abnormal boy but through therapy i have realized that my family is the abnormal ones.
