To need help setting boundaries with my mum

[wetsuitfun]

I'm 20, I'm living at home with my mum and younger sibling. I've been talking to a counsellor for the past few months. I haven't wanted to tell my mum the specifics of what we've been talking about, so I have mostly avoided the subject. I think she's a bit hurt/upset that I'm putting up barriers. How can I tell her that I love her, but I don't want to share what I've been talking about? I don't think that I should have to tell her everything now that I'm an adult. I wouldn't really want to tell my friends the details either, so my mum shouldn't take it personally. I just want to keep it private. How can I explain this without feeling guilty or hurting her?

I would as much as you can just reassure your mum saying the counselling is going well and you are happy and doing ok...Tell her there is nothing to worry about and if you do need any help she will be the first person you go to.....now that may be a load of rubbish but it should calm her down and lessen her concerns....just tell her you are exploring some life options and want to go forward to the future in a positive way.....Bet she will be very proud you are looking after yourself too.....all in all her concern is normal,she loves you,please dont be so hard on her or yourself....it is a mum thing to worry!!!
