@reclaimingwithmonica: What is emotional incest? We are diving into some of the themes from Anna Konkle's new book, The Sane One. For more, check out the full episode! ✨ @Anna Konkle
This feels so relatable as an only child who was also a girl. I wasn’t a kid - there wasn’t a stratification of power or maturity in my family - I was an extension of their marriage and treated like a third adult in their relationship

It’s the expectation that you will be there for them in their times of need. You’re assigned this role (without your consent) where fulfilling their needs is your priority.

The first time my therapist brought up emotional incest about my moms relationship to me I fell apart and we had to actually end the session early.. and I put off my next appointment for a month cause I felt this weird sense of shame and was terrified to face it more..

Grrrrr :
I’m not sure I like this therapist! Joking with your dad in a way your mom does not is NORMAL. That’s normal closeness. At the same time, I won’t delegitimize her experience! I’m ONLY talking about the therapist. Her feelings are her own and I support her.

It has made me not a great partner. I don’t want to help anyone regulate their emotions because I’ve been doing it for so long
