Narcissistic parents (feat. therapist Gabrielle Wells)
Description
What happens when the people who were supposed to love and protect you become the source of your deepest wounds? Therapist Gabrielle Wells joins us to dive into the reality of growing up with narcissistic or emotionally immature parents—the red flags, the long-term impact, and how it shapes the way we navigate love, trust, and boundaries.
Whether you’ve gone no-contact, are still trying to make it work, or just find yourself dissociating at family dinners, this conversation is for you. Because sometimes, “but they did their best” just isn’t good enough.
