Summary
Were you raised by a narcissistic mother? Did you grow up feeling dismissed, unseen and unable to connect with the one you loved, and needed to survive? If so, it is important to recognize the deep wounds that occur at the level of your inner child, the ones that control how you perceive yourself, your value and control how you feel, all outside of conscious awareness. One of the most difficult things about being the child of a narcissistic mother, is assuming responsibility for why your mother was unable to provide you with the kind of consistent, healthy, nurturing love a child needs. And so, in today's episode, you are going to learn why and how it is a narcissistic mother hurts the ones they love.
Why a session such as this one?
Conversations like this one are important, because they help you to find the space between feeling shame and observing shame as a natural outcome. Narcissistic abuse infects your soul. You assume responsibility for how you feel, the shame, the unworthiness; you accept it all. So when we step back and observe why and how narcissistic mothers can so easily and naturally hurt their children, in this new state of awareness, healing can begin. It was never about you, it was always their issue, and that is a critical distinction.
If you are struggling from narcissistic abuse, you most likely identify greatly with the identity the abuse created, yet this identity is not the real you. Lisa A. Romano has created a pathway to correct the false beliefs, and inner thinking patterns, that keep you in loops of negative inner self talk, self doubt and cognitive dissonace. As someone who has escaped this trap, she has successfully healed her inner child and merged with her higher self despite a childhood of deep pain, unworthiness, and rejection.
For a limited time, you can start this course today, for an additional 50% off the self start program, or you can wait until Lisa offers this class LIVE in June of 2026, with weekly group sessions, and additional exclusive resources within a private community.
