Healing in the Valley of Spiritual Growth
We Must Heal to Embrace Our Higher Purpose
As a daughter of a narcissistic parents (mom and stepdad), I’ve come to understand how a lifetime of narcissistic abuse, parentification, emotional neglect, and constant criticism shaped my patterns of performing, perfecting, and people-pleasing … leaving me feeling like I’m never doing enough and will never be enough. Healing means untangling the past and stepping into unfamiliar territory. I’m no longer who I once was, but I don’t yet know who I’m becoming. Perhaps growth begins with exploring new ways of being. I’m learning for the first time that setting boundaries, practicing self-compassion, and prioritizing self-care aren’t just important; they’re necessary (and much easier said than done). I've also learned the true meaning of "Phineas Magic," which is his gift of unconditional love. If you’re on your own healing journey, you’re not alone. No family is perfect and no life is without challenges. By sharing our experiences and supporting one another, I believe we can achieve our soul’s purpose.
