6 Unexpected Signs of Trauma From a Narcissistic Mother (That Most Daughters Miss)
Description
Have you ever wondered why you struggle with people-pleasing, decision paralysis, or constant overthinking? In this episode of The Mother Wound Project Podcast, host Tandi uncovers 6 unexpected signs of trauma from a narcissistic or emotionally immature mother—patterns most daughters dismiss as personality quirks, but are actually trauma responses.
You’ll hear real-life stories that reveal how childhood conditioning creates hidden wounds like difficulty saying no, chronic self-doubt, mysterious health issues, emotional dysregulation, hyper-independence, and ruminating thoughts. These aren’t flaws—they’re survival strategies your nervous system learned to keep you safe.
By the end of this episode, you’ll see your patterns in a new light, understand how they developed, and discover practical tools for healing—like hypnotherapy, somatic work, journaling, and supportive community.
✨ Key Takeaways:
- How people-pleasing is actually a fawn trauma response.
- Why decision paralysis is rooted in years of criticism and shaming.
- The surprising way trauma lives in your body as fatigue, bloating, or brain fog.
- Why hyper-independence isn’t strength—it’s survival mode.
- Practical tools to rewire your subconscious and calm your nervous system.
💡 You are not broken. These patterns are not who you are—they’re what happened to you. And what happened to you can be healed.
