In this episode of Mother Mayhem, we dive deep into the emotional triggers that often surface during trauma recovery—specifically anger, jealousy, and rejection.

As daughters of narcissistic and emotionally limited mothers, these emotions can feel overwhelming, but they’re not just random feelings—they are powerful tools that can guide your healing process.

We talk about why anger is not only valid but crucial in the recovery process, serving as a signal that something is wrong and that boundaries have been crossed.

You’ll learn how jealousy often appears as a sign of unmet desires and needs, and why rejection can tap into old wounds, making it feel like a personal failure, even when it’s not about you at all.

Understanding and working with these emotions is a key part of reclaiming your peace, setting healthy boundaries, and growing in your recovery from narcissistic abuse. This episode is for anyone who’s been overwhelmed by these feelings and wants to understand how they fit into the larger healing process.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How anger is a tool in trauma recovery and why it’s a sign that something needs to change.
  

• The role of jealousy in healing, and what it reveals about your desires and unmet needs.
  

• Why rejection feels so painful, especially when it mirrors the neglect and emotional abandonment from your past.
  

• How to start recognizing emotional triggers as cues for setting healthier boundaries.
  

• Why feeling these emotions is a necessary part of healing, and how they can help you create a life that honors you.
