Redefining Mother-Daughter Relationships: Healing the Good Daughter Syndrome & Setting Boundaries with Psychotherapist and Author Katherine Fabrizio

58 minutes

In this episode I sit down with psychotherapist and author Katherine Fabrizio, an expert in helping empathic daughters navigate complicated relationships with their mothers. We dive into the patterns of The Good Daughter Syndrome, explore how childhood dynamics shape our adult lives, and discuss the first steps toward healing.

Mother-daughter relationships can be deeply complex, influenced by generational patterns, unspoken expectations, and ingrained behaviors. Whether you've struggled with a high-conflict relationship, faced narcissistic tendencies, or simply felt the weight of always trying to be “good enough,” this conversation will resonate. We explore the delicate balance of guiding our own children while allowing them to grow, the power of repair in parenting, and why self-awareness is key to breaking the cycle.

If you've ever felt trapped in the role of the “good daughter,” constantly seeking approval while losing sight of your own needs, this episode is for you. It’s never too late to reclaim your voice, set boundaries, and start living life on your own terms.
