LFPWLI: Cheryl Marth - The long-term impacts of growing up with a narcissistic mother and how to find healing

 

In this episode, Mathew, Troy, and Cheryl discuss the long-term impacts of growing up in dysfunction, being raised by a narcissistic parent, and how she is now shedding beliefs that no longer work for her. Cheryl opens up about feeling different, the shock of realizing she was being manipulated, and how she is learning to set and enforce boundaries. She also talks about the ongoing struggles with her family and the importance of personal growth as she is now a mother herself. 

 

Cheryl Marth grew up with a narcissistic mother and has found ways to thrive on the other side of it after she reestablished her self-worth. After losing her father at the age of 18, she had to navigate an increasingly difficult relationship with her family. Throughout her life, she has been on a journey of identifying harmful generational patterns and doing the hard work of a transitional character.
