Break Free From the Grip of Narcissistic Control and Manipulation with Harvard-trained psychologist and author Suzanne Manser, PhD, who specializes in fostering self-acceptance and treating people with eating disorders, body image challenges, and anxiety. Plus, she has a wealth of experience supporting those dealing with depression, bipolar disorder, and complex relationship issues.
Suzanne's candid and compelling memoir, titled I Hate You (A Love Letter to My Mother): Healing Paper Cuts, Mother Wounds, and Intergenerational Pain, serves as both a deeply personal story of transformation and a psychological guide for healing from painful parental relationships.
The book empowers its readers to embrace self-acceptance and navigate the complexities of their emotional wounds, and it is complemented by Suzanne's guided journal, titled I Hate You (A Love Letter to My Mother): A Journal for Healing Your Mother Wound and Transforming Your Life, which helps readers, through thought-provoking prompts and questions, to uncover how their parents' self-protective behaviors inadvertently caused harm and shaped their identities, offering tools for reflection and personal growth.
This is an incredibly enlightening interview filled with life-changing, healing insights, including how Suzanne’s narcissistic, alcoholic, well-meaning mom impacted her; Suzanne’s personal journey to self-acceptance; how parents deeply impact a child’s sense of self; the negative effects of intergenerational pain; Suzanne’s advice to adult children of narcissists about managing their relationships with a narcissistic parent; and more!
