Is it possible to have a relationship with a narcissist?
That question kicks off this episode, and the answer sits far outside the usual "set boundaries and move on" advice.
Boundaries aren't a personality trait. They're a container. Sometimes they mean blocking a number. Sometimes they mean a full blackout from your family of origin so you can step out of the trauma field long enough to hear yourself.
The relationship with your mother matters more than almost any other work you'll do. She's the anima imprint you project onto every woman, every doctor, every system of care. Resentment toward her chokes off creativity, vitality, and erotic energy in ways most women never trace back to the source.
Family constellation work changed my life on this exact issue, and I explain why I recommend it before any deeper trauma modality. Compassion, neutrality, and even harmony are on the table. None of it requires her to become the mother she couldn't be.
