Send us a message!We talk with Lisa Sitze (#1 international bestselling author) about growing up with a mother later diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and how gaslighting teaches a child to distrust their own mind. We break down what actually helps you heal: naming the pattern, setting real boundaries, and choosing responsibility without slipping into shame or victimhood. • Lisa’s story of a late NPD diagnosis and how it reframes a lifetime of confusion • Why narcissism is a buzzword and how NPD differs from everyday narcissistic tendencies • How manipulation can fool authority figures and deepen self-doubt • Golden child and scapegoat dynamics and how they affect feedback, trust, and identity • Why healing requires holding both the negative and the positive • Boundaries as actions we control and why an information diet can be necessary • The risk of labels becoming excuses and how agency prevents codependency • “Demons” as limiting beliefs built to protect us and how to let them go safely • RAD tool: Recognize, Acknowledge, Decide Links:Instagram: lisa_sitzeFacebook: Alyssia RhysLinkedIn: Lisa SitzeEmail [email protected] facingyourdemonsbook.comBio:Lisa is a writer, mother of five grown children and granny to seven grandchildren.
