Healing from Narcissism

You’ve spent a lifetime being the “good” one, the peacemaker, the over‑achiever, or the family screw‑up—sometimes all before breakfast. On the outside you look competent and put‑together; on the inside you’re juggling shame, self‑doubt, anger, and that nagging sense that you’re always either “too much” or “not enough.” Growing up with a narcissistic parent scrambles your instincts about love, loyalty, and whose needs matter. No wonder boundaries feel confusing and intimacy can feel like either too much or not nearly enough.

In our work together, we’ll use Dr. Karyl McBride’s model from Will I Ever Be Good Enough? alongside parts work, EMDR, and somatic tools to help you name what happened, trust your own perceptions, and soften that relentless inner critic. We’ll map how parentification, gaslighting, and emotional neglect still echo in your relationships, work, and nervous system—and gently start rewriting those patterns so your life is organized around you, not someone else’s ego. This is a space where you don’t have to defend your story, downplay the crazy‑making, or keep being the “good child” anymore—and yes, there’s room for a little dark humor about just how bizarre it all was.
