About this listen

Today, we have a conversation with KATHERINE FABRIZIO, psychotherapist and author of ‘ THE GOOD DAUGHTER SYNDROME: Help for Empathic Daughters of Narcissistic, Borderline, or Difficult Mothers Trapped in the Role of the Good Daughter,’ a book about generational trauma that lies at the intersection of good girl conditioning and difficult mothers. Drawing from over 30 years of clinical practice and her own deeply personal journey, Katherine is dedicated to helping daughters reclaim their identity and live their lives free from the invisible chains of their mother’s expectations. For many women, the mother-daughter bond is complicated by feelings of guilt, shame, and an intrinsic sense of duty. Katherine’s expertise reveals how these dynamics often force daughters into the “Good Daughter” role, in which they’re always focused on pleasing and never prioritize their own needs. This role, while seemingly noble, can lead to anxiety, depression, and a profound loss of self-regard. By blending clinical knowledge with her own story of breaking free from the expectations of a difficult mother, Katherine offers a unique blend of empathy, expertise, and empowerment that emboldens good daughters to reclaim their lost sense of self and become their own woman.
