Overwhelm is a built of emotions/thoughts responses leading to floods of stress hormone leading us into a flight/fight reaction. Hence the urge is to shout, scream, rage. We are simply out of control because the body’s nervous system takes over.

Some of my earliest memories are tied to a single phrase:
“What have you done to your mother?”
It taught me to be the “good girl.”
To make myself small.
To tiptoe around moods I didn’t cause but still felt responsible for.
As a child, I learned to stay silent, work hard, and keep the peace.
And while those habits made me patient and understanding as an adult, they also made it hard for me to speak up… to share my truth…
to believe I’m not to blame when someone else lashes out.
Here’s the thing I’ve had to learn the hard way:
We’re not responsible for other people’s moods, choices, or behaviour.
They are.
If you’ve ever blamed yourself for someone else’s actions, I see you.
If we can untangle that belief we can finally feel lighter in our relationships, at work, and in our own minds.
Do you notice this pattern in your life?

Below are a few traits of a narcissistic parent

* Self obsessed
* Not interested in their child as their needs are more important
* Self centred
* Constantly gives a child the impression they are not good enough, nothing will ever be good enough.
* Rageful at criticism.
* Rageful at any refusal to do things for them even if the requests are unreasonable.
* Critical of how a child looks.
* Often critical of their weight.
* Focused on beauty and looks so will compare children against each other.
* Child who is lower in weight or more attractive will be favoured.
* Feels threatened by a child who is intelligent and will put them down or minimise their achievements through jealousy.

❗️A few of these traits are specific to mothers however fathers can be narcissistic as well.

‼️We can all have narcissistic traits, but the real damaging behaviour comes from when someone consistently blames others will not take any responsibility or fault on themselves acknowledging the humaness of all of us.

❌The decision is entirely yours as to whether to cut contact with a narcissistic parent. Weigh up the pros and cons, notice the impact on your mental health. Make an informed decision.

I’ve been working on this need to connect with my grandmother and the need to heal some of the pain that comes down through my mother’s side of the family. There’s a lot of pain, there’s a lot of restriction, there’s a lot of shame. There’s a lot of women who weren’t able to be who they wanted to be, were restricted because of the rules around women, the rules such as, you are the provider of children, you keep the house. It was okay for my grandmother’s generation to be kept in a way which wasn’t beneficial for them. I don’t want to go into the specifics too much. Anyhow, on the back of that, a year later, after doing some deep, deep inner work to actually bring this out, because it’s been scary as hell, I am actually saying, yeah, I want to work with people on this. Because most of my clients, so many of my clients, I would say about 80% of my clients have a mother who is either from addiction, alcoholic, has mental health difficulties, or is a narcissist. It’s not about blaming our mothers, but it’s actually looking at what’s come down, what’s come through that’s caused our mothers to be this way. So I am running an exciting programme, and I’m looking for a group of six people to come on board with me, and we’re going to go on this journey together for three months.

“I came to this retreat after feeling quite lonely — I’ve been back in the UK and on my own a lot. I needed connection, but I didn’t realise just how much I needed to be witnessed.

Hearing everyone’s stories made me feel less alone. It cracked something open. I realised how many of us are carrying similar ancestral threads — and how healing it is to name them.

I had moments of self-doubt. Guilt surfaced around my grandmother, realising I hadn’t always honoured her pain. But I’m leaving that guilt here. I’m not taking home the burden. I’m taking the insight. The clarity. The power to shift how I relate.

I’ve been trying to get people to give me what I needed… but what I really needed was already inside me.

I’m leaving here softer, stronger, and more rooted in me. Not in their expectations. Not in old stories. Just me.” Next retreat 1-8th June 2026 Gosport, Hampshire. Link in bio

This week I did a radio interview on stress. In the car beforehand I did a little practice run and recorded it. In this video I have transcribed the audio to a little video from my book launch. I might actually upload some of the video of my book launch soon

This Is Not About Blame. It’s About Liberation.

Healing doesn’t ask us to reject our mothers. It invites us to reclaim ourselves.

The motherline rift is often rooted in emotional abandonment, unmet needs, or generational patterns of silence, control, or enmeshment. It may show up because of a narcissistic parent, an absent one, or one who—through no fault of their own—was simply not able to meet you emotionally.
This retreat is a sanctuary where you can:

• Acknowledge the pain without shame

• Stop carrying what was never yours to hold

• Rewrite the inherited stories that have shaped your life

• Reconnect with your own voice, body, and truth

• Come home to yourself—on your own terms

This is about you stepping into the woman or man you were always meant to be.

Unapologetically. Unconditionally. Powerfully.

Retreat dates 1-8th June, Gosport, Northamptonshire at Bury Villa.
