About this listen

Did you grow up with a mother who was controlling or manipulative? Was she emotionally or psychologically abusive toward you? Did she make you feel ashamed, rejected, or "crazy?" Was it all about her, all of the time? When your mother is a narcissist, it can damage and invalidate your sense of self, and leave you with lasting anxiety, insecurity, self-doubt, and a relentlessly critical internal voice. But there are tools you can use to move forward in your adult life with confidence. The evidence-based skills in this book will help you heal the scars of growing up with a self-absorbed and narcissistic mother.

Written by a psychologist and expert in narcissism, Adult Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers offers proven-effective strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help you reduce anxiety, build confidence, overcome self-criticism, and live the life you deserve. You'll also find tons of practical tips to help you build healthy, trusting relationships; stop apologizing for the failures of others; and start trusting your own good judgment.

If you were raised by a narcissistic mother and are struggling with the lingering effects of a toxic upbringing, this is the road map you need to heal the past and thrive in the present and future.

It was hard emotionally but great self help to understand what goes on in her mind

I hope that this gets reread by a different narrator one day. I didn’t love the cadence or voice but the information is so important

Great info

Decent book with a lot of insight into the internalized critical voice of a narcissist mother, but touches a bit too often on why the narcissist is the way she is and it sounds a lot like excusing the narcissist for their behaviour because “they can’t help it.” I don’t personally resonate with this but a lot of the book is compassionate and helpful to the reader.

Decent book, some problems

If someone needs to be validated and believed on how difficult it is to be raised in narcissistic homes and how much we women act out behaviours that were wrong but grounded in their minds and hearts - listen to this book. And choose which “practice” would be helpful, one season at a time...

Practical and insightful
