    230. HOW MY NARCISSISTIC, CONTROLLING FATHER Changed My Life

    230. HOW MY NARCISSISTIC, CONTROLLING FATHER Changed My Life

    narcissistic parent, controlling parent, childhood emotional neglect, trauma healing
    Dr. Amanda Tambuyser was forced to navigate a childhood with an angry, controlling, and narcissistic father. The coping mechanisms Amanda developed during childhood would impact her life and behaviours for many years to come. Amanda found herself becoming a people pleaser, and her behavior became highly dysregulated at times. These experiences significantly diminished Amanda’s ability to cope with daily life.
    After years searching how to heal from her own childhood trauma, Amanda hit on a unique approach to healing that combines therapeutic methods with coaching. This holistic approach now helps Amanda’s clients not only address past traumas but also focus on the present and future, providing a more comprehensive path to healing.
    Amanda's work primarily focuses on helping women who, like her, struggle with feelings of doubt and fear. Many of these women feel constantly judged and have lost touch with their true selves. Join me in hearing Amanda's inspiring story and learn more about her transformative approach to healing.

Wake up little one

This podcast has been my life line since the beginning of 2023. I’m nearly 38 years old and am just now getting to know my inner child because of the stories shared here. I hope some day to share my story too.

IS THIS MY TWIN? MY LIFE TO A T

This is literally 80% accurate of my life. I grew up without a dad but an alcoholic step dad that my alcoholic and drugged out egg donor liked to antagonize and taunt my step dad. He has said he’s so sorry for any wrong he has done or any trauma he caused in my life. My egg donor on the other hand manipulated me to pay for her cell phone or should wouldn’t have contact with medical professionals. It took me 20 years to stop paying her phone bill. There is so so much more and sadly most who know have since passed leaving me alone on this big bad world again. Baby sitting other people’s kids as well as my egg donor. Baby sitting at 9, Mother at 9, 10, 12 then 15 years old (my own child). It’s been quite the journey and I’m just getting started at 41
