Recognising Your Narcissistic Mother

If the vision perfection that this picture presents resonates with you as a falsehood that hides a whole lot of hurt, then may be your mother (or father) has narcissistic traits. A narcissistic parent likes to creates a vision of perfection for the world to see. People outside the family will see your family as healthy and perfect and image that belies the emotional damage (and other types of abuse ) that happens within the family home.

I was recently recommended this video on YouTube by Johanna Kujath a psychologist. She describes the traits of a narcissistic mother as she sees them. She also takes time to explain the impact a mother with these traits has on her daughter.

If from watching this video you consider that may be you have a narcissistic parent or partner, below is a video from Dr Les Carter who provides a blog for people affected by people with narcissistic traits. He offers some sound advice on how to cope and protect yourself from the effects of emotional abuse in the video entitled “The I Refuse Approach to communication with a narcissist.” His emphasis is on staying true to yourself.

If you like his video you might like to try this video which helps you to understand why you feel so angry when you are around narcissistic people or alternatively you can subscribe to his blog. He offers some sound advice on how to understand narcissism and how to support yourself when you are in the company of a narcissist.
