Danu Morrigan – författare

Känner du dig ofta sårad och upprörd efter att ha varit i kontakt med din mamma? Är det som om du blir ”någon annan” i hennes närhet? Verkar hon distansera sig från dig när du har medgång i livet medan hon blir upprymd när du har motgång? Kritiserar hon dig ständigt eller är hon oftast artig och trevlig men kan plötsligt säga något som är så elakt att du undrar om du hörde rätt? Runt, runt vandrar dina tankar och känslor tills du tror att det måste vara något fel på dig. Men det är inte dig det är fel på. I denna bok får du verktyg för att våga se sanningen om din mamma och påbörja resan mot insikt och läkning. En narcissistisk mamma är inte genuint nyfiken på sina barn – antingen ignorerar hon dem eller så upplever hon dem som en oskiljaktig förlängning av henne själv. Om barnen visar att de har andra behov än vad hon har kan hon bli mycket kränkt och provocerad. Du är inte knäpp ... det är din mamma diskuterar vad narcissistisk personlighetsstörning är, hur den ser ut hos olika mammor och vilka effekter den kan få. Sedan diskuteras våra olika möjligheter när det gäller fortsatt kontakt med henne och hur det påverkar oss att känna till sanningen. I de två sista kapitlen tar författaren upp en metod för att läka såren som hon själv haft stor nytta av – EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). Eftersom boken bygger på författarens egna erfarenheter handlar den specifikt om mödrar och riktar sig till döttrar, men även söner kan har stor nytta av att läsa den. Danu Morrigan (pseudonym) från Irland är själv dotter till en narcissistisk mamma. Hennes bok är baserad på egna erfarenheter samt berättelser från kvinnor som deltagit på hennes webbforum.

This book is for you if you are forever doing things you don't want to do, spending time with people you don't want to spend time with, and answering questions that are too private to answer; in other words, if you find yourself living your life by other people's rules and wishes, rather than your own.This book is for you if you have all sorts of blocks that stop you advocating for yourself: such as guilt, people-pleasing, conflict-avoidance, fear of being unkind, fear of hurting them and so on - and the feeling you're not allowed to let and of those go.In short, this book is for you if you are tired of being a People-Pleasing Passive Pushover and are ready to Become a Boundaries Badass.Starting with resolving all that blocks you from setting boundaries, Danu provides clear exercises, strategies and step-by-step techniques to change your beliefs about what is possible for you, and the way you approach your life and your relationships.The book then guides you through the Art Of Boundaries, going into crystal-clear detail about how exactly you set and - crucially - enforce boundaries in a calm and conflict-free way, by using techniques such as Emphasis Escalation and Conquering Consequences.If you'd like to finally be the boss of your own life, the life-changing information in this book is definitely for you.

Narcissistic mother’s syndrome is a form of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) which is present in an estimated 0.6-1.0% of the population. The condition, and abusive impact it has on hundreds of thousands of daughters around the world, receives little public attention. Writer Danu Morrigan has helped thousands of women to find a path to freedom, through her support website daughtersofnarcissisticmothers.com and her bestselling book You’re Not Crazy – It’s Your Mother. Now, Dear Daughter of a Narcissistic Mother …, her much anticipated second book, presents 100 letters written by Danu to fellow victims, containing recognition, advice, techniques and encouragement to break free and remain free from the toxicity of a relationship with an NPD mother.
