Narcissistic Mothers: How to Handle a Narcissistic Parent and Recover from CPTSD

Narcissistic Mothers is a compassionate, practical guide for adults who grew up with emotionally manipulative or self-focused parents and are still feeling the effects today. The book explains common patterns of narcissistic parenting—such as gaslighting, guilt-tripping, favoritism, and emotional neglect—and helps readers understand why these experiences can lead to chronic shame, people-pleasing, low self-worth, and symptoms of Complex PTSD in adulthood. Written in a clear and validating style, it offers tools for setting boundaries, healing emotional wounds, and rebuilding a sense of identity separate from the parent’s influence. Whether you’re seeking clarity, recovery, or healthier relationships, this book provides a grounded, supportive path forward.
