Soothing listen

She really gets it. It feels like Wendy from Hook is talking to you, sitting with you in the nursery. She knows how we think and how we feel, and how to reel us back in when we start getting panicked. I will listen to this book regularly until I can easily remember the material, and her voice, on my own. It’s only 3 hours long.

This book offers freedom.

Revisado: 03-07-25

I had reached a point in my life where I knew that my parents were wrong, but I struggled with the “whys.” I was very angry every day, and couldn’t understand my inability to let it go! This book taught me that my anger was natural. It was trying to signal me and prevent me from allowing more abuse! I am so so incredibly glad to have read this book. I wish everyone would read it. It can’t hurt.

Changed my life

Revisado: 03-24-21

When I saw the title of this book, it felt like it grabbed my soul. That question, “Will I Ever Be Good Enough?,” was like the theme of my life - without me realizing it fully until I read those words.
The part that said “for daughters of narcissistic mothers” threw me off at first... I thought to myself, “eh.. I don’t really know if my mom is a narcissist....” But that title had me hooked, so I decided to give it a listen.
I finished the book in 1.5 days (I had to sleep after all). I took notes. I sent it to my sisters.
Reading this book was like watching The Truman Show, except Truman was me. The doctor who wrote this book did such a thorough job of explaining everything about being the daughter of a mother who suffers from NPD.
She talks about the signs of narcissism, the 33 ways you might feel or reactions you might experience as the daughter of a narcissist, relationship patterns later in life, career choices later in life... just everything.
Long story very short, my mother is as narcissistic as they come, and I learned exactly how to deal with that fact in this book. I can now live my life freely, with firmly established boundaries, and concentrate on my own healing instead of constantly being forced to only think of her.
My children have already benefited so much from me reading this book. My relationship with my father has shot up into the sky. My relationship with myself, life in general, and everyone I come into contact with is better... when I say better I’m talking about a 180° turnaround.
If you feel like *maybe,* just maybe you need to read this book, I highly encourage you to start it ASAP.
P.S. I love the author’s voice. It was a very easy and soothing listen for me.
