This is so true! Setting boundaries is easier said than done but boundaries are crucial in healthy relationships. If we don’t set them then we are only enabling others to continue to treat us the way they do.
If you need help establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries. Give me a call. I can help.

Exciting news!!!!!

I will be offering IN-PERSON therapy starting in late August! I signed a lease to rent a suite in this beautiful building next to Cracker Barrel in Forsyth, IL. I will continue to provide telehealth therapy as well. I currently accept BCBSIL PPO and Health Alliance. I am working on expanding my insurance networks. I have a lot of experience with working with children (5+ in-person, 12+ telehealth only), adolescents, and adults. I also see couples. Give me a call to set up an appointment!

I know a lot of people who doubt themselves including myself. We can’t see what others see. Take time to listen to compliments given to you. Look at your accomplishments and obstacles you have overcome. Give yourself the credit you deserve.

If you need help seeing your strengths, give me a call to set up an appointment today. We can work together so you can finally see all your greatness.

Most people have heard of Fight, Flight, or Freeze. Have you ever heard of Fawning?

In this article you will learn that fawning involves "consistently abandoning your own wants and needs to serve others to avoid conflict, criticism or disapproval," McKenna says. It's also known as people-pleasing or co-dependence and includes over-apologizing, being hyper-aware of what others think and having an inability to set boundaries. It is a trauma response. Read the article below to learn more.

If you realize that you engage in fawning and need help setting boundaries, give Jennifer Zerfowski, LCSW a call at 217-207-0041 to set up an appointment today!

You probably know about fight, flight and freeze. But experts are warning about the "fawn" response, which manifests as people pleasing.
