52. From Hurt to Healing: Why Trauma Work Is a Marathon, Not a Sprint

In this episode of Mother Mayhem, we dive deep into the work of trauma recovery. Understanding that trauma work takes time is crucial for daughters of narcissistic and emotionally limited mothers.  Trauma is not just an intellectual experience but one that affects your body, memory, and how you perceive the world.  Learn why you can't control what happened to you, but you can control your response to it. Discover how to connect your head and heart, recognize the lifelong impact of trauma, and identify your needs.  We’re working together to turn pain into progress.
