On Ep. 21 were talking NARCISSISTIC PARENTS!! Mostly mothers.

Narcissism is quite the buzz word these days but it is one of the most overlooked and under diagnosed disorders we face in a growingly narcissistic world. The effects of being raised by a narcissist can lead to a life time of invalidation, worthlessness, insecurities and substance abuse. I share my own experience with my undiagnosed narcissistic mother and the what the consequence have been. 

I take a look at the different types and styles of mother/daughter dynamics when the mother is displaying or is a narcissist and then go into some tips about how you can heal.

This is a very painful and lonely journey to realizing your mother wasn't capable of giving you what you need but it wasn't your fault. It wasn't fair that the needs of your mother were always put first but once you realize the root of your suffering that will give you the freedom you need to start healing. I have included some links for the healing process as well as my resources for the show today.

Do you have a narc mother or father? Write me your stories, how you healed, you got away, and what it looked like for your family dynamic. 

You are loved! You are wanted! You are needed!
