  • Healing from Covert Narcissistic Parenting: Guilt and Breaking the Invisible Loyalty | Epi 140
    Apr 1 2026

    In this episode, I share another clip from my conversation on Trusting After Trauma: Redefining Relationships After Parental Narcissistic Abuse, hosted by Pi Venus Winslow. In this segment, we explore why separating from a covertly narcissistic parent does not just feel frightening—it can feel deeply disloyal. We examine the guilt that surfaces when setting boundaries, the anger that often masks unresolved grief, and the unconscious loyalty that keeps many adult children emotionally stuck. The conversation underscores that healing is not about dramatic confrontation, but about reclaiming your internal world—strengthening your capacity to mentalize, recognizing what was internalized in childhood, and gradually separating your identity from the parent who shaped it.

  • Borderline Personality and the Fear of Abandonment: What Most People Miss | Epi 138
    Mar 18 2026

    In this episode, we take a deeper look at a common misunderstanding about borderline personality organization: that the core struggle is simply a fear of abandonment. Drawing on the work of psychoanalyst Herbert Rey and his powerful metaphor of the “marsupial space,” we explore a more complicated psychological dilemma — the painful experience of never quite finding a relational space that feels both safe and free.

    We explore: Why can closeness feel desperately needed one moment, yet suffocating the next? And why can even small moments of distance trigger fears of being pushed out or abandoned?
