You're a highly sensitive person who cares for everyone around you. You have a narcissistic parent and it has been challenging to navigate their expectations. You find yourself giving more time to them while feeling drained by their emotional ups and downs. Sometimes your efforts to support them go unrecognized and you feel taken for granted. But if you ever set a boundary, you are accused of being selfish. They have a hard time seeing your point of view so you leave confrontations feeling guilty. Sometimes you're even worried that you're crazy. You end up binging Dr. Ramani YouTube videos to try to make sense of your relationship.
Having a narcissistic parent can be challenging for a highly sensitive person, but I promise that you are also strong. Therapy can help you unhook from your parent's demands, guilt trips and crazy-making communication. You can recover from gaslighting and trust your intuition, to interact with your parent from a place of confidence and inner wisdom.
You are not alone. I have been where you are and I know what it's like to feel confused, lonely, and guilty. You deserve a safe space to make sense of it all, to trust yourself again, to be treated with compassion. IFS therapy can help you heal childhood trauma and reconnect to your intuition.
