You love your mother, but she drives you crazy.
She controls, criticizes, and butts into your life constantly. Then, when you try to set boundaries, the pushback and resulting guilt is so bad that you tell yourself... it's just not worth it.
Is your mother narcissistic, borderline, or just plain difficult?
Are you empathetic, sensitive, and kind?
Do you feel stuck in your relationship with Mom:
- Trying to please her but never feeling good enough?
- Feeling responsible for Mom's emotional well-being?
- Struggling to set boundaries without feeling guilty or getting so much pushback that you end up thinking... it's just not worth it?
If so, chances are you have fallen into the hidden psychological traps that constitute The Good Daughter Syndrome.
Many self-aware daughters of narcissistic, borderline, or just plain difficult mothers know they need to stand up to their mothers and set healthy boundaries. Yet, they can't bring themselves to do it and don't know why.
They are caught in unconscious traps they can't see or fully understand... Trapped by their difficult mother's needs, the empathetic daughter can't see a way to break free and still feel like a good person.
She can't see these traps that keep her parallelized with guilt... or going round and round having the same arguments and getting nowhere with Mom, but I can.
Even better, I know how to escape them.
Introducing Katherine Fabrizio’s multi-award-winning book, The Good Daughter Syndrome. It’s been translated into Spanish, Chinese, and Turkish.
After helping hundreds of "Good" daughters break free as a psychotherapist, she can help you escape and break the cycle of intergenerational wounding so that you can-
- Stand up to Mom with confidence.
- Stop feeling responsible for their mother's happiness.
- Set healthy boundaries that stick.
- Banish the negative internalized mother and conquer self-doubt.
- Say "no" to Mom without letting guilt stop them.
Following my step-by-step system, you can escape this destructive dynamic, finally feel good enough, stand up to your mother without guilt, and replace self-doubt with self-trust and shame with self-acceptance.
Then, whether or not your mother ever changes, you can break free of this disempowering dynamic and claim a life that is truly your own.

We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we’re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.…
