EP 625: Dr. Suzanne Manser - How Growing Up With a Narcissistic Mother Impacts Your Love Life


Listen Later

Did you grow up with a narcissistic mother? My podcast guest, Suzanne Manser, PhD is a Harvard-trained psychologist and author who writes about her own experience growing up with a narcissistic mother and how it impacted her life. In addition to her book (I Hate You (A Love Letter to My Mother): Healing Paper Cuts, Mother Wounds, and Intergenerational Pain) and guided journal (I Hate You (A Love Letter to My Mother): A Journal for Healing Your Mother Wound and Transforming Your Life), Dr. Manser writes articles about how to live with self-acceptance and meaning and has given numerous talks and interviews. Though Dr. Manser’s primary role is therapist, she has worn a variety of hats, including clinic director, professor, supervisor, board member, and consultant. Whether through therapy, writing, or speaking, Suzanne is dedicated to helping people heal the pain from their childhood, improve their mental health, and create rich, juicy lives.
