Dr. Sarah Davies: In the Shadow of Narcissistic Parents – A Guide to Recovery and Moving Forward

As adults, how do we stay in touch with our narcissistic parent? How do we deal with negative beliefs and unhealthy thinking patterns about ourselves inherited from others? How can we break the cycle of trauma so that we can form our own loving family?

Being a child in a toxic environment is scary. It confuses and makes us lonely, we lose our basic sense of security, and the long-term negative consequences can have a significant impact on our beliefs about ourselves and the world. But such a difficult start to life does not mean that we are doomed to suffer as adults. It is possible to recover from the wounds of parental narcissism and move on.

Our childhood shapes us, but it is not a lifelong judgment. With empathy and a pragmatic approach, Dr. Sarah Davies uses her clinical expertise and personal experience to show the complex problems of growing up as a child of a narcissistic parent and help repair the damage caused by trauma.

"In writing this book, my goal was to provide a guide to recognizing narcissistic parenting behavior, understanding its short- and long-term effects, and providing an accurate guide on how to deal with toxic family members from now on."
