These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Barbara Larsen. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Barbara is very knowledgeable about family dynamics and how sometimes no matter how hard we try we can’t fix the people in our family who are broken. They have to want to fix themselves and we can only support them when they are ready. Sometimes it’s better to back away a bit and wait for them to come to you when they are ready to really work on communication and your relationship with them. If they can’t face their problems they may be projecting them on to you and until they are ready to work on themselves you’ll be their scapegoat. Basically it’s not your job to make other people happy. They have to want it for themself.
