Mother Mayhem: For Daughters of Narcissistic or Emotionally Limited Mothers

112. Finding Yourself After Narcissistic Abuse: Healing Identity, Rage, and Grief


Listen Later

What happens when you’ve spent a lifetime unseen, unchosen, and defined by someone else’s story?

In this episode of Mother Mayhem, a daughter asks: Who Am I, really?

Together, we explore:

Why daughters of narcissistic or emotionally limited mothers often feel dissociated or split from themselves

How dissociation shows up in daily life and gentle ways to come back into the present

Why listening and gathering resources without acting is a trauma response, not a failure

How to begin bridging head and heart after years of survival mode

What to do with rage and grief when confronting a mother won’t bring healing

How identity is reclaimed, not reinvented and why it’s never too late to begin

This episode offers both a clinical lens and a community one. It reminds daughters that healing happens in connection, not isolation.

If you’ve ever wondered who you are beyond the roles you were given, or how to carry rage and grief without being consumed by them, this conversation will meet you right where you are.
