What we work on · Supporting family back home
Therapy for the guilt of supporting family back home
You are the one who sends money, arranges the doctor, calms the crisis by phone at 2am, and books the emergency flight. Everyone thinks you are coping because you keep doing it.
Long-distance caregiving is real caregiving, and it comes with real depletion, plus a guilt that never fully clears because you are never quite there.

What this often looks like
- ·Financial strain you have not told anyone about
- ·Fear every time the phone rings at an odd hour
- ·Resentment towards siblings who do less
- ·Guilt whenever you spend money on yourself
- ·Exhaustion that sleep does not fix
- ·Feeling responsible for every family member's outcome
What we actually do in sessions
- ·We map the load you are actually carrying, financially and emotionally.
- ·We work on limits that do not feel like abandonment.
- ·We handle sibling and family conflict about who does what.
- ·We separate genuine responsibility from inherited obligation.
- ·We look after you, which is usually the item missing from the list.

Common questions
Is it selfish to want limits here?
No. Sustainable support is worth more to your family than support that collapses.
Can family members join a session?
Sometimes that helps, and it can be arranged. Most people start alone.
I am functioning fine. Is this worth a session?
High-functioning depletion is one of the most common things Komel sees. Functioning is not the same as being okay.
