EP23: ARE MOMS REALLY NARCISSISTS?
Summary In this episode of Mum's True Tea, Kendall Lasha delves into the complex dynamics between mothers and their children, particularly focusing on the rising trend of labeling mothers as narcissists. She challenges the audience to reflect on their perceptions of motherhood, the impact of therapy on familial relationships, and the importance of empathy and understanding in the healing process. Through personal anecdotes and thought-provoking questions, Kendall emphasizes the need for forgiveness, the recognition of mothers as individuals with their own traumas, and the responsibility each person has for their own healing journey. Takeaways All moms are not narcissists; this label is overused. Therapy should be a tool for healing, not a weapon. Mothers are human beings with their own struggles. Children often overlook their mothers' sacrifices. Forgiveness can be a personal choice, independent of apologies. Healing requires empathy for both oneself and others. Setting boundaries doesn't mean being cruel or judgmental. A good mother often goes unnoticed in her efforts. Self-reflection is crucial when feeling triggered. Healing should not lead to selfishness or heartlessness.
