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.

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.

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.

 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.

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

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.

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.

Every one of us desires a loving, joyful, and connected bond with our mother. But sometimes, no matter how much we wish for it, we cannot achieve it. After enduring years of emotional and physical abuse, Melany reached a turning point. Despite her tireless efforts to heal and start afresh with her mother, Melany came to a profound realisation that shook her to her core: each attempt to maintain the relationship with her mother was unraveling the progress she had made within herself. Every interaction left her feeling drained and disconnected from her own needs and values. Finally, Melany understood that holding onto this relationship wasn't just challenging—it was costing her the peace, joy, and self-respect she had fought so hard to reclaim. Join us as Melany shares her journey, revealing the courage it took to prioritise her own well-being and the profound wisdom she gained along the way.Melany Oliver is an intuitive life coach who can help you heal from inner child wounds and emotional trauma, so you can feel more empowered and in control of your life.
