Episode 334 - Healing from Parental Narcissistic Abuse with Dr. Meg Haworth
This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised.
In this episode, we explore what happens when love is tied to conditions instead of acceptance. The effects reach far beyond childhood and can shape how we see ourselves in ways we may not even realize.
This conversation raises questions about identity, self-worth, and the silence many of us carry for decades. What changes when we begin to break free from this prison of silence?
