Do you find it difficult to trust people? Do you constantly second-guess yourself? Do you struggle with setting boundaries or feel the need to seek approval from others?

Have you ever considered that growing up with a narcissistic father could be the reason?

The effects of having a narcissistic father can persist into adulthood, impacting self-esteem, identity, and relationships. Moreover, most men are conditioned to suppress pain and vulnerability, viewing them as signs of weakness. In a society that often views vulnerability as a weakness, many silently struggle with emotions they have been taught to suppress.

Adult Sons of Narcissistic Fathers is a compassionate, informative, and practical guide designed specifically for men who are grappling with the lasting effects of having a narcissistic father. This book delves into the unique challenges faced by sons of narcissistic fathers, offering a safe space to explore the impact of narcissistic abuse on self-worth, trust, and the ability to form meaningful connections.

By listening to this book, you will…

• Recognize five types of narcissism and how to identify them in relationships and daily interactions
• Understand the key differences between Narcissistic Personality Traits and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) to gain clarity on behavior patterns
• Explore the impact of narcissism on childhood development and how intergenerational trauma shapes adult lives
• Learn how trauma can be unconsciously transferred to your children (or future children)—and discover actionable steps to break the cycle
• Harness the power of the SHINE framework to foster self-awareness, healing, and personal growth

The pain of the past doesn’t have to hold you back any longer. Adult Sons of Narcissistic Fathers is here to guide you every step of the way.

Edgar Wise approaches the topic of narcissistic fatherhood with clarity, sensitivity, and a deep understanding of the long-term emotional effects it can have on sons.

It’s a powerful book for therapists, partners, friends, or anyone who wants to support a loved one through the aftermath of childhood emotional neglect or abuse.
