From experienced family therapist Dr. Karyl McBride, Will I Ever Be
Good Enough? is an essential guide to recovery for women with
selfish, emotionally abusive, and toxic mothers—designed to help
daughters reclaim their lives. The first book for daughters who
have suffered the abuse of narcissistic, 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. Drawing on more than two decades of experience as a therapist
specializing in women’s health and hundreds of interviews with
suffering daughters, Dr. Karyl McBride helps you recognize the
widespread effects of this emotional abuse and 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. They may also
have a fear of abandonment that leads them to form unhealthy
romantic relationships, as well as a tendency to perfectionism and
unrelenting self-criticism or to self-sabotage and frustration. Dr.
McBride’s step-by-step program will enable you to: (1) Recognize
your own experience with maternal narcissism and its effects on all
aspects of your life (2) Discover how you have internalized verbal
and nonverbal messages from your mother and how these have
translated into overachievement or self-sabotage (3) Construct a
personalized program to take control of your life and enhance your
sense of self, establishing healthy boundaries with your mother and
breaking the legacy of abuse Warm and sympathetic, Dr. McBride
brings a profound level of authority to Will I Ever Be Good Enough?
that encourages and inspires you as it aids your recovery.
"A compact but thorough guide to successfully handling and
surviving a divorce." -PsychCentral The bestselling author of Will
I Ever Be Good Enough?: Healing the Daughters of Narcissistic
Mothers draws on her expertise in treating men, women, and children
damaged by narcissists in this practical guide to divorce and its
aftermath. Narcissism-a personality disorder that goes beyond mere
selfishness and vanity-is a prevalent cause of marital and family
problems. Narcissists do not have the capacity to love, understand
other people's emotions, or feel empathy. They are grandiose in
their need for praise and attention, they overestimate their
abilities, and they diminish people around them with emotional
abuse. Being in an intimate relationship with a narcissist destroys
your hopes, dreams, and peace of mind and erodes your children's
emotional health and your finances. Does this sound like what you
have to deal with? If you ever look at your partner and wonder in
despair if you will ever be free, the answer is yes, you can be. A
leading authority on narcissism, Dr. Karyl McBride offers proven
therapeutic advice that will help you protect and nurture yourself
and your children through your difficult divorce, from separating
from your narcissistic partner and navigating the court system,
where a narcissist can be especially destructive, to a restorative
healing program of trauma recovery.
