Ep 24 - Healing in Motherhood After Narcissistic Abuse in Childhood

In this episode of The Healing Mothers’ Club, we continue our mini-series on the impacts of narcissistic abuse on motherhood. If you grew up with narcissistic parents, you know how hard it can be to break the cycle while raising your own children. Today, I’m sharing the key elements of healing that help you move from parenting out of survival mode to parenting with presence, safety, and authenticity.

· Why self-regulation is essential when your child’s big emotions trigger your own survival responses

· The practice of “Emotional Safety Hygiene” and how it strengthens your nervous system

· How EMDR therapy and healthy boundaries support cycle breaking in motherhood
