About this listen

Break Free from the Invisible Control That Still Shapes Your Relationships, Choices, and Self-Worth

Do you keep ending up in relationships that feel familiar but draining?

Do you over-explain, over-give, or over-perform just to avoid conflict or abandonment?

Do you know your childhood hurt you, yet still feel trapped by patterns you can’t seem to break?

You didn’t grow up with a monster who looked like one — you grew up with someone who demanded loyalty instead of love and control instead of safety. They may have seemed “good” from the outside, but they ran the emotional climate of the home. So you adapted: reading moods, staying small, staying useful. You learned that love was conditional and survival meant managing someone else’s emotions. You’re an adult now but your nervous system hasn’t caught up yet.

Monster at Home isn’t about blame or reliving the past — it’s about exposing and dismantling the invisible blueprint left by narcissistic parenting. Using psychology, nervous-system science, and practical boundary tools, this book helps you break destructive relationship patterns and reclaim emotional autonomy.

This book doesn’t require confrontation, forced forgiveness, or endless trauma work. You don’t need your parents to change — only clarity and a system that puts you back in control. If you’re ready to stop reacting to your past and shape your future, this book is your guide.

Freedom starts when the monster no longer lives rent-free in your mind.
