Was your childhood dysfunctional?
Was your parent more like a demanding child than a loving caregiver?
Perhaps your parent is a narcissist.

Raised by Narcissists helps you identify parental narcissism and narcissistic abuse to understand the harmful dynamics at play in a toxic family environment - and shows you how to heal and move forward with your life.
You will learn how to:

- Manage an ongoing relationship with your parent, including going low-contact and no-contact
- Address fractured family relationships
- Combat inherited negative self-beliefs and unhealthy thought patterns
- Break the trauma cycle to build a loving family of your own

Our childhoods shape us, but they are not a life sentence. Compassionate and practical, Dr Sarah Davies draws on clinical expertise and personal experience to acknowledge the complexity of being a narcissist's child and repair the damage from your upbringing.
