About this listen

The first book specifically for daughters suffering from the emotional abuse of selfish, self-involved mothers, Will I Ever Be Good Enough? provides the expert assistance you need in order to overcome this debilitating history and reclaim your life for yourself. Drawing on over two decades of experience as a therapist specializing in women's psychology and health, psychotherapist Dr. Karyl McBride helps you recognize the widespread effects of this maternal emotional abuse and guides you as you create an individualized program for self-protection, resolution, and complete recovery.Narcissistic mothers teach their daughters that love is not unconditional, that it is given only when they behave in accordance with maternal expectations and whims. As adults, these daughters have difficulty overcoming feelings of inadequacy, disappointment, emotional emptiness, and sadness.

A pathway to smiling inside.

McBride delivers a depth of understanding and insight into a child’s development at the hands of a narcissistic mother.

Then she provides a healing pathway to wholeness and reconciliation by looking into the brokenness of your inner child and repairing her with an insightful and empathetic parent who discovers her way to smiling and laughter.

As a surviving daughter of a narcissistic mother I’m able to find joy through journeying with McBride and her knowing.

insightful

This book is very insightful and informative it takes you through the stages of realisation, working through the pain and trying to, feel better about yourself, and find a better way to live . Also, remember this is not your fault.
This book has very good points. TBH You can courageously heal from your past by facing these though questions
•Why do I feel unlovable
• why do I never feel good enough?
•Why do I feel so empty.
•why do I always doubt myself.
Have you hoped that just once your mother would maybe say I hear/feel/understand your pain, and I'm here.

You can understand what maternal narcissism did to you. You can also prevent your own children from going through this by breaking free from being the daughter of this person.

I would highly recommend this book to other daughters.
And yes, I Am Good Enough and so are you

Deep, powerful, saved me and my daughter

Very deep and powerful book, requires bravery to go through to the end to the core. Will read this as a bible multiple times. It's a lifetime book which has to kept through out a life time. Get yourself a lot's of tissues and stay brave right untill the end.
