The Good Daughter Syndrome: Help For Empathic Daughters of Narcissistic, Borderline, or Difficult Mothers Trapped in the Role of the Good Daughter

You love your mother, but she drives you crazy. She controls, criticizes, and butts into your life constantly. Then, when you try to set boundaries, the pushback and resulting guilt is so bad that you tell yourself... it's just not worth it. Is your mother narcissistic, borderline, or just plain difficult? Are you empathetic, sensitive, and kind? Do you feel stuck in your relationship with Mom: Trying to please her but never feeling good enough? Feeling responsible for Mom's emotional well-being? Struggling to set boundaries without feeling guilty or getting so much pushback that you end up thinking... it's just not worth it? If so, chances are you have fallen into the hidden psychological traps that constitute The Good Daughter Syndrome. Many self-aware daughters of narcissistic, borderline, or just plain difficult mothers know they need to stand up to their mothers and set healthy boundaries. Yet, they can't bring themselves to do it and don't know why. They are caught in unconscious traps they can't see or fully understand... Trapped by their difficult mother's needs, the empathetic daughter can't see a way to break free and still feel like a good person. She can't see these traps that keep her parallelized with guilt... or going round and round having the same arguments and getting nowhere with Mom, but I can. Even better, I know how to escape them. Introducing Katherine Fabrizio’s multi-award-winning book, The Good Daughter Syndrome. It’s been translated into Spanish, Chinese, and Turkish. After helping hundreds of "Good" daughters break free as a psychotherapist, she can help you escape and break the cycle of intergenerational wounding so that you can- Stand up to Mom with confidence. Stop feeling responsible for their mother's happiness. Set healthy boundaries that stick. Banish the negative internalized mother and conquer self-doubt.
