I was excited to spend time with Kristi on Mother's Day discussing our shared experiences surrounding our narcissistic adoptive mothers. We cover how the adoption industry is a breeding ground for narcissism, how a therapist helped Kristi understand narcissism, going No Contact with her enmeshing narcissistic adoptive mother, and what modalities of healing have helped her heal and cope with what she refers to as a "life sentence." Disclaimer: Only a qualified mental health professional can diagnose Narcissistic Personality Disorder. This podcast and the series related to narcissism is based on the adopted adult determining that his/her parent has a narcissistic personality style. It is understood that not all adoptive parents are narcissistic, or even that most are.
