Podcasts about narcissistic mothers

In this greatest hits episode of The Marriage Life Coach Podcast, I'm joined by my friend and colleague Karen C.L. Anderson for a powerful conversation about the role of healthy anger—and how to relate to it in a way that creates healing instead of harm. Karen is a master-certified life coach and author who helps smart, creative women transform their relationships with their mothers—into catalysts for growth. She's the author of Difficult Mothers, Adult Daughters, one of my favorite books to recommend to clients when mom stuff comes up, and You Are Not Your Mother: Releasing Generational Trauma and Shame (Living Free from Narcissistic Mothers and Fathers) which I also highly recommend.  Her work has also been featured in the New York Times as an expert on boundaries, and I'm so excited to share her wisdom with you. Together, we talk about the difference between immature and mature anger, how to use anger as a guide instead of something to fear, and why giving yourself permission to feel it can lead to deeper self-trust and healthier boundaries.  If anger has ever felt confusing, overwhelming, or like something you had to avoid in order to be “good,” this episode is for you. ✨ Episode at a Glance The difference between immature and mature anger What anger is often signaling—and why it matters The Anger Scale and how to use it for self-awareness The concept of the Microscopic Truth and how it helps in conflict How to process and move through anger without fear or shame The link between anger and healthy boundary-setting A powerful coaching moment from Karen that shows anger in action  

When Innocence Feels Like Rejection: How Codependent Mothers Misread Their Children What happens when a child's innocent comment gets filtered through the lens of an unhealthy, codependent mom versus a healthy, emotionally attuned mom? The difference can shape not only the child's self-worth but also the generational cycle of codependency. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano, Breakthrough Life Coach and bestselling author, unpacks how unhealed wounds distort a mother's perception of her child's needs and words. An emotionally unhealthy mother, trapped in her own unresolved pain, may perceive an innocent statement like “I wish I could play with you more” as a personal attack—triggering shame, defensiveness, or withdrawal. A healthy mother, however, sees the same comment for what it is: a child's bid for love and connection. This powerful contrast reveals why addressing codependency is not just self-work—it's generational work. If left unchecked, codependency programs children to feel responsible for others' feelings, abandon their own needs, and repeat the same painful patterns in adulthood. Lisa shows you how to break the cycle by teaching: Why codependent programming distorts reality and causes misinterpretation of innocent words. The neuroscience behind why trauma survivors often personalize others' emotions. How healthy mothers validate their child's truth without collapsing into shame or defensiveness. Why breaking free from codependency is the single most important gift you can pass to your children. This episode is a must-listen if you: Grew up with a parent who made you feel guilty for your feelings. Struggle with people-pleasing or fearing rejection. Want to stop codependency from spilling into your parenting or relationships. Are ready to see how your healing ripples into future generations. ✨ Pro tip: Awareness is the first step. When you learn to recognize these patterns, you reclaim your ability to create healthy connections and stop carrying wounds that were never yours to bear. Begin Your Healing Journey: Lisa introduces her signature 12 Week Breakthrough Method—a trauma-informed, neuroscience-based coaching program designed for adult children of narcissistic, neglectful, or emotionally immature parents. Inside the program, you'll discover: Brain retraining techniques rooted in neuroscience. Inner child healing and self-concept reorganization. Journaling prompts and assessments to increase self-awareness. Tools to stop subconscious self-abandonment and live authentically. How to integrate shadow work and break toxic generational patterns. Thousands have transformed their lives with this method—learning to step out of survival mode and into authentic, empowered living.

You'll hear real-life examples of women caught in the crossfire of toxic in-law relationships, including the subtle manipulation, emotional blackmail, and triangulation that turns what should be a joyful family connection into a confusing and painful power struggle.We explore how narcissistic mothers-in-law undermine parenting decisions, interfere with your relationship, and create chaos under the guise of “just being helpful.” We also talk about the damage it causes when your partner is either completely oblivious to the manipulation—or worse, supports it.You'll learn what these dynamics look like, why they happen, and how to spot the signs of covert narcissism within the family system. Whether your partner is still emotionally enmeshed with his mother or has become a passive participant in the dysfunction, this episode unpacks the emotional toll it takes on you as the daughter-in-law.We also examine the long-term impact on your mental health, your relationship, and your children, especially when boundaries are repeatedly ignored and your voice is dismissed. From power struggles over parenting to passive-aggressive guilt trips and smear campaigns, we break down how this toxic dynamic plays out behind closed doors—and how easy it is to internalise the blame.If you've ever been made to feel like the “other woman” in your own marriage, if you've walked on eggshells around family gatherings, or if you've questioned your sanity after being emotionally sidelined by a manipulative in-law, this episode is for you.This raw and validating conversation sheds light on a taboo topic that's more common than people realise—and offers understanding for anyone trying to survive the emotional battlefield of a narcissistic in law.Need Support, Extra Resources?

If you or a loved one are struggling in these areas, please visit the resources below for help and more information.  This week on The Traumedy Show, Emily Rose, founder of The Mama Wilder Foundation, details her story of surviving domestic violence, financial abuse and the isolation that came with marrying into a religious cult. She takes us through the painful unraveling of that life—how control was disguised as faith and how she ultimately found the strength to leave. But her story doesn't end there. Emily fought her ex-husband in criminal and family court for domestic violence and for custody of her children. And, in a stunning turn, her now-husband helped her take back her power—by cross-examining her narcissistic mother in the courtroom. It's a story of pain, escape, the pursuit of justice and the kind of love that helps you rebuild. Resources: National Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-800-799-7233

There are three words in the English language that hold enormous power to help you transform your marriage with your wife.   Coincidently they are also universally the least spoken words by husbands in marriage. The more disconnected your marriage situation, the more powerful these words are. They are not the words, “I love you”. These three words are infinitely more impactful. When spoken sincerely by a husband to his wife, everything starts changing for the better in marriage. Let's begin…..

In this episode of Terror Talk Podcast, we dive into the layered portrayals of narcissistic mothers in three iconic films: White Oleander, Terms of Endearment, and Mommie Dearest. From emotional manipulation and guilt-tripping to martyr complexes and full-blown control tactics, we explore the psychology of maternal narcissism through each character's unique behavior.Using clinical insights, we break down the narcissism spectrum, compare how these cinematic mothers weaponize their relationships, and reflect on the lasting impact of toxic maternal figures—both on screen and in real life.We also examine how these films reflect societal expectations of women, motherhood, and the fine line between “difficult” and “damaging.” If you've ever flinched at a wire hanger or side-eyed a well-timed guilt trip, this episode's for you.narcissistic mothers in film, psychological analysis of toxic mothers, White Oleander mother psychology, Mommie Dearest narcissism, Terms of Endearment analysis, narcissistic personality disorder in movies, toxic mother characters#TerrorTalkPodcast #DarkPsychology #WomenInFilm #FilmPsychology #CinematicMothers#NarcissisticMothers #WhiteOleanderAnalysis #TermsOfEndearment #MommieDearest #ToxicMoms #MoviePsychology #NarcissisticAbuseAwareness #MotherDaughterDynamics #PersonalityDisorderPortrayalsInstagram: @terrortalkpodcastYouTube: TerrorTalk PodcastFacebook: Halloween All Year LongTikTok: @dark.psychology.girls

In this raw and deeply personal episode, Shelby shares the truth behind a two-week experience that changed everything. What began as an act of compassion — taking in her mother-in-law during what seemed like a medical emergency — became a painful awakening to a lifetime pattern of spiritual manipulation, emotional betrayal, and energetic abuse. This wasn't just about caregiving. This was about breaking free from the toxic expectations placed on women to give, sacrifice, and suffer in silence. Shelby reveals: How guilt and generational patterns trapped her into care-taking. The shocking realities of what happened behind closed doors. The bathroom moment that became a literal and spiritual breaking point. How she finally recognized the mother wound running through her own family and her mother-in-law — and made the decision to end it. This episode is for every woman who has felt drained, unappreciated, or used by those they thought they were supposed to help. You don't have to keep giving your light away. You don't have to carry their weight. You're allowed to walk away — and heal.
