Mother Mayhem: For Daughters of Narcissistic or Emotionally Limited Mothers

85. Facing Your Narcissistic Mother Without Fear


Listen Later

By the time a daughter begins to see and name the impact of her mother wound, she has already endured so much more. It’s never just the mother wound—it’s the ripple effect. The way one trauma leaves you vulnerable to another. The way survival sometimes demands choices that come with their own kind of pain.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • The weight of cumulative trauma and how it shapes your nervous system
  • Why the fear response around your mother feels so automatic—and how to disrupt it
  • What it really means to stand in front of your mother without fear (hint: it’s not about her at all)
  • How to step out of survival mode and into your own power
