S2 Ep167: The trap of parentification for the high achiever – How you can be successful in life while still hurting inside after this toxic family dynamic
13/10/2026 | 18 mins.If you have been parentified as a child you might still be hurting and you shouldn’t have to suffer today because of the toxic family dynamic in your past.
Parentification is a toxic family dynamic, common when dealing with narcissistic mothers or with emotionally immature mothers or parents, that puts too much responsibility on the child way too soon inevitably creating childhood trauma.
Often cause by childhood emotional neglect alongside immature parents who are unable to take responsibility, parentification is a clear sign of abuse resulting in trauma that is carried by the parentified adult and will manifest in specific comping patterns leaving you only capable of achieving a certain degree of success, far below what you deserve.
And despite all that you may have achieved so far in your life, you might still be hurting inside.
Patterns such as people-pleasing, perfectionism, extra independence and inability to take a break or delegate will hold you back in every aspect of your life, including your career, relationships, parenting… And in the long run they will also affect your physical and mental health.
In this episode I share:
the 3 main traits of the parentified adult child coping pattern,
how they are holding you back today,
your best next step to recover and regain control of your life.
It’s time to truly be successful and thrive like you deserve.

06/10/2026 | 11 mins.Have you lost all hope that your mother’s drama will end at some point?
Most daughters of narcissistic and immature mothers have accepted that their life is going to be about survival and they have lost all hope that things might change. They have collected labels, beliefs and coping strategies that are now limiting their life and preventing recovery.
