Married to My Mother: Unraveling the Effects of a Narcissistic Family
Manage episode 470034957 series 3278947
What happens when the very dynamics that shaped your childhood follow you into adulthood—into your marriage, friendships, and even your career? In this episode, Mindy shares her eye-opening realization that she married a version of her narcissistic mother and how her upbringing with both a covert narcissistic mom and an abusive father left her trapped in cycles of self-doubt, hypervigilance, and struggle. We’ll explore how childhood conditioning makes us perfect targets for love bombing, why receiving even the smallest gift puts us in a tailspin, and how deep-seated beliefs of unworthiness shape our adult relationships. If you’ve ever wondered What the hell happened to my family?—this episode is for you.
I am Renee Swanson, and I help people recover from covert narcissistic abuse.- Are you tired of feeling isolated and alone?
- Are you searching for people who get it?
- Are you confused, reactive and unsure what to do?
- Are you running in circles in your mind?
- Are you worried for your kids and the effect this is having on them?
- Do you want to know how not to raise another narcissist in this world?
