Complete transcript: Why you need to be selfish in the best way possible

The Holistic Psychologist: When you grow up parentified, your parent leaned on you emotionally to be their support system. They might have called you their best friend or even the rock of the family, so you need up taking on your parents emotional burdens. And feeling completely responsible for them.

There's a part of you that senses that your parents need you. So all of your focus goes on them and making sure they're okay. And in time your emotional needs are being ignored and going unmet.

Though you end up learning that being in a relationship, means that no one is gonna care for you. So as an adult, you feel really guilty for saying no, setting boundaries and needing your own time and space.

It is also common for adults who've been parentified, to feel completely responsible for other people, especially when they're struggling. This is the continued role of caretaking. They may even choose a career path like being a nurse or a therapist. Where their focus is always on other people.

This is why healing from parentification really involves becoming selfish. Or self focused for the first time in your entire life.
