About this audiobook
Healing Begins with Awareness
Are you trapped in the maze of your mother's expectations, forever chasing the approval and affection that always seem out of reach? This book is your guide to finding the exit and stepping into the light of self-love and acceptance.
You've been conditioned to neglect your own needs, seek validation from others, and constantly put yourself last.
You are not alone.
The author, a fellow survivor of a narcissistic mother, walks with you on this journey of discovery and healing. She offers empathy, support, and practical strategies to help you reclaim your life. This book is your roadmap to breaking free from the cycle of emotional manipulation and guilt.
Equips you with the tools to:
- Defuse the drama in your interactions
- Establish boundaries that are respected
- Counteract gaslighting and manipulation
- Navigate emotional outbursts and silent treatments
- Respond to hurtful comments and put-downs
- Strategize conversations for positive outcomes
With actionable steps at the end of each chapter this book is your guide to understanding why your mother behaves as she does and how you can change your response. You can't change your mother, but you can change how you interact with her.
