Description
Description
The scars inflicted on childhood by a parent with narcissistic tendencies are lasting - but they don't have to define your future. My Parent the Peacock is a compassionate, insightful and clear-eyed guide to recovery that validates your lived experience while offering practical steps towards healing and freedom. Demythologising some of the ideas around narcissistic behaviours, acclaimed therapist Kathleen Saxton starts by explaining what narcissism is, and isn't, and why it seems to be on the increase. She offers you support to understand how having a narcissistic parent can impact your early development, and how family constellations are shaped in such households (were you the Golden Child, or the Scapegoated Child?). Pulling everything together into practical and healing strategies for moving forward, the book also covers:
You can escape generational trauma and find freedom; take the first steps today for a healthier, happier future.
- validation and self-care
- setting boundaries and expectations
- Listening to your own voice
- Breaking the generational patterns
You can escape generational trauma and find freedom; take the first steps today for a healthier, happier future.
