Adult Daughters of Narcissistic Mothers: Quiet the Critical Voice in Your Head, Heal Self-Doubt, and Live the Life You Deserve by Stephanie M. Kriesberg PsyD

4.0

Thank you to NetGalley + New Harbinger Publications for an early copy of this ebook!

This is a book I have so deeply needed, and I am glad that others struggling with their relationship with their mother will have access to this. The author does an excellent job of providing textual information as it relates to narcissism as well as intervention strategies and coping skills that the reader can use to manage their thoughts and feelings.

Because it is so heavy in the topic of narcissistic mothers and unhealthy maternal relationships, it may be difficult to read in large chunks. Taking it slowly and diving into the suggested journal entries and prompts can definitely help the reader better understand their own emotions and behaviors.

I definitely will be purchasing a physical copy of this book for my therapeutic library, and I already know I will have most of it highlighted and annotated to reference.
