In this episode, we explore the difficult—but crucial—question: When is no-contact with a borderline or narcissistic parent necessary? This isn’t about pushing you toward cutting ties, but about helping you define the non-negotiable boundaries that protect both your emotional health and the relationship itself.

Key Takeaways:

✔️ Identifying deal breakers to clarify essential boundaries
✔️ Why thinking about no-contact isn’t giving up—it’s gaining clarity
✔️ How to set boundaries from a place of autonomy, not fear
✔️ Testing smaller boundaries before making drastic decisions
✔️ Avoiding emotional “mic drop” decisions that lead to regret
✔️ Healing is a process—not determined by whether your parent is in your life
