Mother Mayhem: For Daughters of Narcissistic or Emotionally Limited Mothers

96. Healing from Narcissistic Abuse: The Path to Self-Trust and Joy


Listen Later

In today’s episode of Mother Mayhem, we dive deep into the process of healing from narcissistic abuse and I offer insight into how daughters of narcissistic and emotionally limited mothers can begin to trust themselves and find joy in their lives again.

If you've struggled to feel safe in your body, or have a hard time trusting yourself after years of emotional neglect or narcissistic manipulation, this episode is for you. I walk you through  the three key pillars of healing: nervous system safety, emotional processing, and self-trust.

Key topics covered in this episode:

  • Understanding the role of the nervous system in healing from trauma

  • How to process your emotions safely and without fear of being overwhelmed

  • The importance of self-trust in healing and how to start rebuilding it

  • Learning to embrace vulnerability and enjoy life despite your past trauma

  • Why healing from narcissistic abuse isn’t a one-time fix but a continuous journey of self-compassion and growth

  • Grief as a part of healing: How it helps us let go of the past

  • Reclaiming joy and learning to connect with others around you without fear of being hurt again
