Unmasking the Communal Narcissistic Mother: Understanding, Coping, and Healing

In this video, Blake Anderson, a registered social worker and therapist with over 13 years of experience, delves into the complex dynamics of having a narcissistic mother, specifically focusing on the communal narcissist. Blake explains how these mothers present a perfect, self-sacrificing image to the community while being emotionally unavailable and often cruel at home. The video covers the concept of 'malignant normalcy,' the role of children as reflections of the mother’s ideal image, and the challenges faced by children, especially the scapegoat. Blake shares personal client experiences, discusses the importance of setting boundaries, and offers strategies for dealing with narcissistic mothers, such as healthy differentiation and maintaining a protective aura. This informative session aims to help viewers understand, cope, and heal from the destructive patterns of communal narcissistic mothers.
