Most people whom I coach reach out to me because they’re dealing with a disordered partner. But what originally made them vulnerable to the exploiter? Often, they realize they’ve become romantically involved with someone who is just like their mother.
Growing up with a narcissistic mother profoundly affects you. To comply with her demands and criticism, you may become a perfectionist. Or a people pleaser. And research shows that abuse as a child makes you vulnerable to hooking up with a sociopath as an adult.
I am pleased to be part of a FREE upcoming online event called Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers. For three days, Sept. 23-25, Laura K. Connell is bringing you interviews with 12 trauma-informed experts who have found ways to help you overcome the devastating impact of having an emotionally abusive mother.
My presentation is called, The energetic effects of narcissistic abuse and how to dissolve them.
I explain how all those childhood wounds become trapped in your personal energy field. Then I explain three energetic approaches for releasing the wounds so you can be free.
Here’s what you’ll learn from some of the other presenters:
• Tracy A. Malone, founder of NarcissistAbuseSupport.com: How to heal from a narcissistic mother’s emotional manipulation
• Pi Venus Winslow, transformational life coach: Setting boundaries without the crushing guilt — why boundaries are not betrayal
• Carla Shohet, integrative trauma psychologist: Healing the nervous system after maternal narcissistic abuse
• Kate Munden, integrative psychologist and trauma specialist: Addicted to the breadcrumbs of love
Please join me for this FREE event starting Tuesday, Sept. 23. Get your ticket today!

Her experience was horrific, and eventually caused her to have a breakdown. But ever since she realized the truth of her mother’s disorder and went No Contact, she’s doing much better. Here’s the episode:
I could have been my mother’s third victim
