If you grew up with a parent with borderline or narcissistic personality disorder, the fear of being abandoned by people you love might run deep. In this episode of You're Not Crazy, we unpack how toxic love from a parent impacts your relationships and self-worth as an adult — and, more importantly, how to break free from those patterns.

We discuss:

  • What conditional love from a BPD/NPD parent really looks like and how it contributes to a fear of abandonment
  • Choosing yourself
  • The power of setting clear, firm boundaries (even when it feels impossible)
  • Steps to develop self-acceptance and improve your self-worth

🎙️ If you find this episode helpful, please remember to rate us 5 stars and leave a quick review- it helps so much!
