If you find yourself constantly maintaining peace, prioritizing others' feelings over your own, and seeking your mother's approval, you may be experiencing ‘the good daughter syndrome.' Over time, this role can quietly wear you down, erode your mental well-being, sense of self, and energy to the point where you no longer recognize yourself.In this episode, I sit down with psychotherapist, author, daughter, and mother, Katherine Fabrizio, who coined the term "The Good Daughter Syndrome" and wrote an insightful book on the topic. In our conversation, she shares her experiences with her narcissistic mother and reflects on the moment she realized it was time to leave home and spread her wings. She also recounts stories of patients who have dealt with similar mothers with some exhibiting borderline personality disorder or an emotional immature parent. Together, we delve into the profound emotional impact of toxic mother-daughter relationships and explore what it means to be a daughter who feels compelled to "appease her mother," even at the cost of her own happiness.What you'll learn:The definition of “The Good Daughter Syndrome”Common signs that your mother may be narcissistic or have a borderline personality disorder.Signs that you may be experiencing “The Good Daughter Syndrome,” including people-pleasing behavior and childhood emotional neglect.How to set boundaries with a narcissistic mother.Why you might feel guilty about caring for a difficult or aging parent.The importance of repair in all relationships, including those with your children.How to begin healing from childhood trauma.This rich and compassionate conversation about mother-daughter dynamics, self-awareness, and finding freedom is a must-listen!!  So, grab your AirPods and take some time to listen to this important episode.Much love,LaurieFree GuidesClick here to schedule a FREE inquiry call with me.Click here to fill out my questionnaireClick here for my FREE “Beginner's Guide to Somatic Healing”Click here for my FREE Core Values ExerciseClick here to purchase my book: Sandwiched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting GoWebsiteKatherine Fabrizio Website***************************************************************************************DISCLAIMER: THE COMMENTARY AND OPINIONS AVAILABLE ON THIS PODCAST ARE FOR INFORMATIONAL AND ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY AND NOT FOR THE PURPOSE OF PROVIDING LEGAL, MEDICAL OR PROFESSIONAL ADVICE.

This episode unpacks the raw power in consciously communicating belonging cues. Belonging cues are simple behaviours that create safe connection. We used belonging cues as signals long before language – our unconscious brains are highly attuned to them. When our Queens receive them consistently, marriage feels like a dream. When our Queens don't receive them consistently, marriage becomes a nightmare. Skipping this episode might not be a good idea for any husband wanting an easier married life existence! Let's begin…..

 As a young child, Sarah, native to Western Australia, didn't understand the voices and visions inside her head. She didn't understand how she knew things that a 4 year couldn't possibly know. It wasn't until she was older that she came to understand  that she had psychic/intuitive abilities."As a child, I was emotionally and verbally abused by my mother and brother," continues Strong. My mom was  Bipolar/Narcissistic  and that made the situation even complicated. Sarah's father didn't really play a role in her life. Now, Sarah says "he has an anti-role." "He's never been a big presence in my life.  I was a wild child as a kid and growing up. If he'd been in my life when I was young, I would have rejected him anyway.""I have gifts including being a medium, empath, telepath & psychic & I channel the star beings, beings from other dimensions and many other beings of the light including the Ascended Masters, angels, fairies, loved ones on the other side, Jesus, Mother Mary and many more. During a session the channel is opened and guided by your spirit guides," affirms Strong.Ms. Strong gladly professes, "my aim in life is to bring as much joy to everyone in this blessed world as I can," that comes from someone who's had a brutal childhood, made some bad choices and picked herself up again.For more information about Sarah Strong and her work check out her website.

As men we practice low tolerance of our own BS grumpy moods with our customers, boss, neighbours, friends etc. They get our highest standard communication. Then we go home and practice super high tolerance of our BS grumpy moods with our Queen and children. Our nearest and dearest get our lowest standard of communication. Low tolerance = high standards. High tolerance = low standards. The rules of this super simple game sets the scene for only your highest standards of communication and emotional state to come to the table. It's a super fun and brutally effective way to show up as the King you were born to become. Let's begin…..

Are you codependent? Do you lack self worth, and focus more on others happiness, needs, and expectations than you do on your own happiness, desires or wants? When you are codependent, it implies that you have been raised to be detached from the self. In this case, you are hypervigilant but might not even know it. You may spend your entire life trying to please people, only to discover that in time, you feel drained, not good enough and disillusioned.  It's not your fault if you are codependent, lack boundaries and don't feel good enough. As a child, you may have had to abandon your true self just to survive. Remember, that the most important thing for a child is to attach to their mother and when this connection goes awry, a child's sense of safety suffers and that is not their fault.  In this episode, learn about some of the codependent fantasies we create in our minds that help us survive our toxic lonely childhoods. And remember Dear One, that you are enough and that finding ways to survive was necessary. As an adult, however, we must grow up and let go of the codependent fantasies if we wish to experience the joy of the authentic self.  Breakthrough Codependency in 12 Weeks or Less with The Breakthrough Coaching Program https://www.lisaaromano.com/12wbcp work with me LIVE for 12 Weeks starting February 9th. https://www.lisaaromano.com/12-wbcp On Demand 50% off Embark on the path to conscious awakening, emotional healing, and transformation with Lisa's Conscious Healing Academy, which includes a 3 tier coaching system that assists with one's awakening, emotional intelligence, and mental and emotional mastery.  12 Week Breakthrough Program (Level One - The Awakening) 8 Week Master Your Reality (Level 2 -- Deliberate Creating) Soul School - (Level Three -- Ascending Ego) To learn more, contact Lisa and her team members here; Contact Website Spotify Award Winning Books  Facebook Support Group  

After a family vacation that he thought was a wonderful family trip, Justin's covert narcissistic mother pulled him aside to tell him how disappointed she was in him. What he saw as a very balanced and enjoyable trip, she only saw that she did not get enough attention and focus from his wife and him. She pushed her unhappiness onto them. Growing up with a covert narcissistic parent, you experience extreme amounts of gaslighting, blame shifting, and passive aggressive behavior. Unknown to you, this often causes you, the child, to doubt yourself and work hard to do everything perfectly. However, you still never seem to be good enough, which often manifests as a core of shame.  Moving into adulthood it is crucial to work through those trapped feelings and learn to set boundaries with this parent. If you resonate with this story and are struggling to get out from under the grasp of a covert narcissistic parent, please reach out today. You do not have to do this alone! Support is crucial as you work through the craziness! I wish you so much peace. I am Renee Swanson, and I help people recover from covert narcissistic abuse.

#narcissisticparent #narcissisticmanipulation #maternalnarcissism What's the 1 thing your narcissistic mother criticises the most about you? Is there an aspect of you she predominantly has put down or ridiculed? Or more than one?? What if all she ever told you about you was a lie? What if everything she made you believe about yourself was untrue? In this episode I explain why a narcissistic mother has to put down what's actually great in you, how to recover those aspects and tap into the infinite pool of potential you've got inside in 4 steps.

Growing up with a covert narcissistic mother can set the stage for a lifetime of fixing, pleasing, and sacrificing your own needs. In this episode, Cara shares her journey of living under the shadow of covert narcissism and how it shaped her identity as a fixer and a people pleaser. From the unfillable emotional hole left by her mother to the toxic relationships she found herself drawn to, we explore how covert narcissistic abuse created patterns she didn't even realize she was repeating. Cara discusses the moment of clarity when she asked her mother to see a therapist with her—and her mother's hurtful refusal that left her questioning her own sanity. Through inner child healing and learning to be her own anchor, she has taken steps to break the cycle and create a life of freedom, peace, and self-love. If you've ever felt trapped in a cycle of toxic relationships and struggle to heal from a narcissistic parent, this episode is for you.

Growing up with a narcissistic mother leaves deep emotional scars.

Creating an indestructible bridge of connection in marriage seems the ultimate Mission Impossible. When guys see it embodied in another relationship, they think it's because the other dude must have luckily found an exceptional woman unlike their own irrational and hyper-sensitive wife. Or it's a miracle fluke that'll never happen for you. It's not good luck and it's not a miracle. It's a repeatable process that requires nothing but a willingness to do whatever it takes to make it work. The steps work. The only question is are you willing to do whatever it takes???

Has your mother ever ignored you as an attempt to punish you for challenging her or confronting her behavior? Have you ever felt like your mom was intentionally causing you emotional duress, possibly by causing you to feel indebted and obligated to her, despite her unhealthy, narcissistic, self-absorbed behavior?

In this episode, Dr. Z delves into the complex dynamics between narcissistic mothers and their adult daughters. She discusses how the behavior patterns of narcissistic mothers challenge societal norms of the mother/daughter relationship and have a profound impact on their daughters' self-esteem and mental health.   Dr. Z also addresses the grieving process daughters of narcissistic mothers must go through once they come to accept the relationship will never be what they hoped for. She emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries and offers practical strategies for managing these dynamics.    Tune in to this episode of Next Up: Narcissism for Dr. Z's compassionate and empowering insights, aimed at helping listeners break free from narcissistic abuse and move towards a healthier, happier life.   Quotes “With narcissistic moms, they love their children in conditions. They love their children so long as the child is, at any age, doing what is expected of the narrative that has been given to them since birth. So, since birth, you get a narrative. You are to play that role your whole life. That role is meant to put you in a certain pattern that the narcissistic mom is able to control and manipulate. Because remember, with narcissists, the main goal of narcissistic behavior is to gain power and control, to take away your autonomy, to take away your sense of self.” (09:11 | Dr. Z)  “Do narcissistic moms love their kids? They love them when they are performing as the narcissist wants them to perform. They love them so long as the child is doing what is expected of them.” (11:07 | Dr. Z)  “Start to gain objectivity to your narcissistic mom's behavior and the reality of who you are, because the reality of who you are is not connected to her. She's just made you think that for so long. Your ability to make decisions independent of her exists. It always existed… Once you realize that you can exist separately from a narcissistic mom, your entire world opens up. You realize that you are capable of doing whatever you want to do, as long as you understand that you will never get the support that you want from your mom, unless it benefits her.” (37:40 | Dr. Z)    Connect with Dr. Z: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist https://www.youtube.com/@DrJaimeZuckerman   Get my FREE breathing exercise here: http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/newsletter Register for my on demand virtual courses here: http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/workshops Order my workbooks! *Find Your Calm / Find Good Habits* http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/books Shop my new Mindfully Messy hoodie here: http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/apparel Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Narcissistic abuse causes brainfog, mental confusion, emotional insecurity and paralyzing self doubt. Cognitive dissonance implies our minds are at war with two opposite beliefs, ideas or emotions. On one side, we may have been duped and manipulated into believing the narcissist we love is altruistic, and kind, while on the other, we may be feeling manipulated and taken advantage of. Until we can decide on what is true for us, our minds remain deadlocked, and we are prime targets for narcissistic others.  In this episode, Lisa A. Romano, Breakthrough Life Coach, award-winning author, and expert in the field of codependency and narcissistic abuse, will learn about the power of ignoring a narcissist. As a mental and emotional wellness expert who has dedicated the past three decades of her life designing mental and emotional training skills to help survivors empower themselves from a controlled, stabilized state of awareness, Lisa explains the hidden power each narcissistic abuse victim has and how to begin mastering this internal process she says a narcissist hopes you never learn to cultivate, appreciate or practice.  If you're ready to expand your mind and your life, it's time to buckle up for this episode of Breakdown to Breakthrough with Lisa A.

After enduring years of emotional and physical abuse, Melany reached a turning point.
