Publisher's summary

You love your mother, but she drives you crazy.

She controls, criticizes, and butts into your life constantly. Then when you try and set boundaries, the pushback and resulting guilt are so bad 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?
  • feel responsible for Mom's emotional well-being?
  • struggle to set boundaries without feeling guilty or getting so much pushback you end up feeling like…it's just not worth it?

If so, chances are you have fallen into one or all of the hidden psychological traps that constitute the Good Daughter Syndrome.

I help daughters trapped in the Good Daughter role escape and break the cycle of intergenerational wounding so that they 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.
  • Say "no" to Mom without letting guilt stop them.

Following my step-by-step system, you can escape this destructive dynamic, finally feel good enough, stand up to your mother without guilt, and replace self-doubt with self-trust and shame with self-acceptance.

Then, whether or not your mother ever changes, you can break free of this disempowering dynamic and claim a life that is truly your own.

Excellent coping skills and compassion for both mother and daughter

This is how we honor our mothers and empower ourselves. Very informative and compassionate. Lessons that heal the body mind and spirit

Valuable listen if you can tolerate the narrator

I have no idea what this narrative was trying to do with her voice - I guess adding flair? But her intonation is so consistently inappropriate, it's difficult to stay focused on the content. Very disappointing. I'm surprised she was employed and paid for this work.
