Abstract

Narcissism may have recently entered the consciousness of the general public but it has throughout history injured the children raised under its iron rule. Here a psychotherapist uses the narrative of her treatment of the grown daughter of a narcissistic mother to illuminate, not just the profound lifelong injuries to such a daughter, but also what the arc of psychospiritual healing can look like for her.As a psychotherapist and ordained minister, I’m a hearer and honorer of stories. Stories are at the core of what it means to be human; to what it means to be alive; to becoming more and more able to do the hard work of relationship. Ultimately, stories are crucial and foundational to the sacred work of healing and of redemption. In the words of Dr. Dan Allender, “...there is the necessity and blessing of telling our story to others. To the degree that we know God and then join him in writing our story, we are honored to join others in the calling of storytelling. God, of course, is the Master Storyteller.”
