If you listen to other narcissistic abuse recovery experts they think no contact is the only solution and the only right answer. They also oversimplify the whole thing. You daughters know, though, that this is an intensely personal discussion and nothing about it feels simple or straightforward. This is how you find your way with it. Mentioned in this episode: She Used to Be Mine Bare Bones by Ullie Kaye

Sometimes it can feel like you have a sign in your back that says: "Go ahead, use me. Abuse me. Take your best shot." For too many of you, your mother isn't the only awful thing or person that has happened to you. After more awful things happen, it's understandable why you might think it's your fault and that you're the problem. It's not your fault. You are not the problem. Listen in to one listener with an important story to share. It might sound like yours. In it with you, helping you find the healing and understanding you seek. Question for the show?

Here are the first building blocks you need to start building your life after healing. We’ll discuss the things you should be journaling about and exercises you can begin doing to get started. Here’s a quick look. Listen in to learn more. This is about the blueprint and these are the strategies for crafting a fulfilling life beyond the shadows of narcissistic abuse.  Here’s to designing a life that radiates resilience and joy after overcoming the impact of trauma. Journal questions: If you were already the woman you wanted to be in the life, love, and work you wanted to have, what would that life look like and how would you be moving through the world. Get clear on the vision and picture, as far as you know it right now. You might always shift and change it later. As you start your day, check in with yourselves about decisions you can make in your day that are consistent with that vision. In moments of decision making, ask yourselves which choices take you closer to that vision and choose accordingly. At the end of the day, review how you did and hold yourself accountable to any places where you moved further away and allow yourselves a do over. Journal Two: When you are doing well and feeling good, what is a list of things that have contributed to you doing good and feeling well. Which things have you stopped? What do you need to return to? How are you going to go about doing so? Journal Three: Climate check. What needs your attention? What is the climate of your life, love or work? What are the weather events that are contributing to a hard climate? What needs to be tended to? What needs to be increased?
