Plus, she has a wealth of experience supporting those dealing with depression, bipolar disorder, and complex relationship issues.

Suzanne's candid and compelling memoir, titled I Hate You (A Love Letter to My Mother): Healing Paper Cuts, Mother Wounds, and Intergenerational Pain, serves as both a deeply personal story of transformation and a psychological guide for healing from painful parental relationships.

The book empowers its readers to embrace self-acceptance and navigate the complexities of their emotional wounds, and it is complemented by Suzanne's guided journal, titled I Hate You (A Love Letter to My Mother): A Journal for Healing Your Mother Wound and Transforming Your Life, which helps readers, through thought-provoking prompts and questions, to uncover how their parents' self-protective behaviors inadvertently caused harm and shaped their identities, offering tools for reflection and personal growth.

This is an incredibly enlightening interview filled with life-changing, healing insights, including how Suzanne’s narcissistic, alcoholic, well-meaning mom impacted her; Suzanne’s personal journey to self-acceptance; how parents deeply impact a child’s sense of self; the negative effects of intergenerational pain; Suzanne’s advice to adult children of narcissists about managing their relationships with a narcissistic parent; and more!

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT THINGS LIKE:

• Suzanne’s advice to adult children of narcissists about managing their relationship with a narcissistic parent.
• How Suzanne’s mom impacted her childhood via “paper cuts,” lies, and disregard for her feelings.
• Suzanne’s personal journey to self-acceptance.
• How intergenerational pain affects a person’s childhood. 
• The role validating ourselves about the pain we experienced plays in healing our childhood wounds. 
• How a highly embarrassing event, peeing in her pants in a group Tai Kwon Do class, became a profound healing experience for Suzanne. 

SOME QUESTIONS IRENE ASKS DR. SUZANNE:

• What is narcissism, how does narcissism develop, and what are examples of classic narcissistic abuse?
• What are some hurtful ways your narcissistic mother impacted you?
• What was the personal armor you created to protect yourself against the constant possibility of rejection?
• How do parents deeply impact a child’s sense of self?
• In what transformative ways can life get better once a person starts to work on healing? 
• Why did your mom’s death lead you to write your book I Hate You (A Love Letter to My Mother): Healing Paper Cuts, Mother Wounds, and Intergenerational Pain?
