About this listen
Welcome to The Mother Wound Project Podcast. I’m your host, Tandi—and today, we’re uncovering the hidden impact of growing up with a narcissistic or emotionally immature mother: Chronic CPTSD (Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder).
Unlike PTSD, which is usually linked to a single traumatic event, CPTSD develops from years of ongoing emotional survival. If you grew up walking on eggshells, enduring criticism, neglect, or manipulation, the effects don’t magically disappear in adulthood.
In this episode, we’ll explore:
- What CPTSD really is and how it differs from PTSD
- The everyday symptoms daughters of narcissistic mothers carry into adulthood—hypervigilance, people-pleasing, identity confusion, chronic guilt, and emotional exhaustion
- Why “just talking about it” in traditional therapy often isn’t enough
- Tools that actually work: hypnotherapy, subconscious reprogramming, somatic healing, and nervous system regulation
If you’ve ever felt like you’re still living in survival mode—even years after leaving your mother’s home—this conversation is for you. You are not broken. Your body and mind are simply carrying the unseen wounds of chronic trauma. And healing is possible.
