Are you an adult child of a narcissistic/emotionally immature parent? You’re an empathic high-achiever grappling with people-pleasing, anxiety, and feeling overly responsible for others' needs to the point of self-sacrifice. You’re a natural caretaker who is exhausted from constantly walking on eggshells with others, worrying about what you say and do. You’re likely highly driven, yet paralyzed by self-criticism and perfectionism as you try to prove self-worth or earn others’ love and approval. Deep down, you don’t feel “good enough,” feeling anxiety, shame, or depression. But more than anything else, you don't know who you are.
