Clinician and author, mother and daughter Katherine Fabrizio is on the pod to tell us all about the archetype of the Good Daughter that she discovered in her thirty years working clinically with women. This award-winning book names so beautifully the issue of being an empathic daughter being raised by narcissistic, borderline and difficult mothers, and how to individuate and change the dynamic no matter our age.
In this conversation, we cover why guilt is the #1 emotion keeping daughters trapped in this dynamic, how to know whether the relationship is workable or not , how to start with small boundaries and gather data, why physiologically holding boundaries and being in this dynamic is so scary and feels so unavailable, ways this dynamic affects every area of our lives, ways we can give and receive care to our little inner ones around this wounding and how aging, cultural and generational factors contribute to this issue.
Katherine is so warm and wise, she has devoted her career to this issue and literally wrote the book on it. I loved this conversation and know that it will serve so many of you, whatever degree this dynamic may be in your life. This is such a good one y'all!
