"You need to set boundaries!" is not always the 'miracle answer' it's made out to be in the Self-Help world. Specifically: Adult Survivors of Toxic, Dysfunctional, and Narcissistic Families that scapegoat will typically hear they need to work on themselves and learn how to "have boundaries" with problematic family members. Many survivors enter therapy to learn "healthier communication skills" so as to "get along better" with toxic family members. Family Systems expert Rebecca C. Mandeville explains why this strategy can backfire due to the toxic family system's unconscious (or conscious) resistance to meaningful individual and systemic change when the current (dysfunctional but familiar) homeostasis is threatened. *Read this educational channel's full disclaimer: https://www.scapegoatrecovery.com/youtube-disclaimer/*
