Adult children of Narcissistic Parents often have grown up in an environment that felt like emotional captivity—marked by manipulation, guilt, and a loss of personal agency.
There wasn’t room to figure out your own likes and dislikes because the parent’s voice was so dominating and overwhelming. You’ve laid awake at night trying to figure out how to ‘fix’ the situation, how to explain things so that your parent would agree. You wish your parent could be more normal. You want peace, and to stop feeling bad or guilty. You want to not repeat the toxic and manipulative ways people related in your family.
I help you to understand what happened, how it shaped you and your ways of relating and to begin the process of healing. Through understanding and setting clear, self-honoring boundaries clients separate from the toxic dynamics, discovder their own needs, change patterns in current relationships, and live with greater self-trust, purpose, and independence.
Together, we can create a safe and affirming space to process the years of trauma of having a Narcissistic Parent. I’ll help you build the tools for resilience, self-compassion, and self-advocacy. Call or email today to set up your free consultation or go ahead and schedule it from my website.
