Best Family Therapy
Expectations are a natural part of relationships. Families have them, workplaces rely on them, and society uses them to define what “success” or “normal” looks like.
But when someone feels more responsible for meeting other people’s expectations than honoring their own needs and values, stress and emotional discomfort can often follow.
As a clinic of clinical psychologists, we frequently hear:
“I know what everyone else wants me to do, I just don’t know what I want anymore.”
Living under the weight of constant expectations can affect mental health, identity, confidence, and connection with others. It can turn daily decisions into emotional negotiations and reduce life to performance rather than living in the moment.
