great videos, I have seen most of what you posted on your channel, and I wish you were calling things by their names. No enmeshed family is healthy, regardless of whether they are doing it consciously or not. The enmeshed family dynamic is toxic, especially if one or more member is trying to stir the pot so to speak and self individuate. The manipulative tactics like guilt that you mention are very unhealthy. Toxic is a buzz word, but it suits this narrative, it is toxic. I really enjoy your videos, I just wish they were positioned in a more brutally realistic light of how unhealthy the dynamic is vs how the family doesnt understand or not doing it on purpose. They are grown adults, not understanding is not an excuse. Not being self-aware is not an excuse. Using manipulation to beat a member of the family back into an unhealthy dynamic is not healthy, no matter what light you are presenting it in.
Thank you for the info! Any suggestions for therapists in Ohio who specialize in enmeshment?
