Anxiety Therapy for Adult Daughters of Narcissistic Parents
Where healing gets honest
Their control ends where your healing begins.
A Tale as Old as Time…
To the outside world, your parent was charming, generous, and even admired. But behind closed doors, it was a different story.
In private, you were met not with warmth, but with rage. With criticism that chipped away at your sense of self. They dismissed your feelings, invalidated your experiences, and pressured you to succeed—not for your growth, but to uphold their image of the perfect parent.
They never celebrated your passions or nurtured your strengths. Instead, they discouraged your autonomy and failed to teach you the life skills you needed to thrive. You weren’t allowed to be a child—you were tasked with managing their moods, protecting their reputation, and carrying their shame.
Being around them feels suffocating—like trying to breathe in a room with the air slowly seeping out.
People tell you to be grateful. That you should love your parent. But you’ve reached a point where you just can’t pretend anymore. Not when the cost is your peace, your truth, your self.
But You’re Ready for a New Chapter…
As an adult, you’ve come to see what you couldn’t name back then: parental narcissism.
You’re done blaming yourself for your parent’s behavior. Done making excuses for their outbursts, their manipulation, their cruelty. Done walking on eggshells and calling it love.
You're not just done…you're ready.
Ready to start a healing journey where you unlearn the deeply damaging messages you were taught about your worth. Ready to embrace who you are apart from who they told you to be.
Ready to make choices without second-guessing yourself, without that anxious loop of self-doubt.
It still feels hard to see yourself as confident or capable, but you're motivated. Motivated to stop people-pleasing. Motivated to speak up without fear.
Motivated to finally, fully, love yourself.
This time, your healing is about you—not them.
