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
