Toxic Guilt: Why Adult Children of Narcissistic Parents Feel Guilty for Saying No | Epi 168
Om avsnittet
In this episode, I’m joined by Hannah Alderete, a Dynamic Emotion Focused Therapist and Certified Relational Trauma Coach, to explore the difference between healthy and toxic guilt and how toxic guilt often develops within narcissistic family systems. Together, we examine why so many adult children of narcissistic parents feel guilty for setting boundaries, expressing needs, disagreeing, or simply choosing themselves. We also discuss how guilt can become conditioned over time, leading people to mistake autonomy and self-assertion for selfishness, wrongdoing, or betrayal.
