Munchausen syndrome by proxy

Munchausen syndrome by proxy, now often called factitious disorder imposed on another, involves a caregiver inducing or exaggerating illness in someone under their care, often to gain attention or sympathy.

ShiftGrit clinicians use the ShiftGrit Core Method™ to identify and recondition limiting beliefs that drive maladaptive caregiving patterns. This structured approach supports insight into underlying drivers while creating new, healthier relational dynamics.
