Anger’s Great…Just Hear Me Out

You're Not Crazy: A Podcast for the Adult Children of Parents with Borderline and Narcissistic Personality Disorders

What if understanding your anger could be the key to your emotional freedom? Join me, Torie Wiksell, on "You're Not Crazy" as we explore the intricate and often terrifying relationship that adult children of parents with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) have with anger. Growing up in these environments can make anger feel unpredictable and scary, whether it’s due to the emotional volatility associated with BPD or the calculated, punishing behaviors typical of NPD. In this episode, we break down the crucial distinction between emotions and behaviors, emphasizing that while emotions like anger are natural, it’s our response to them that truly matters. By understanding and embracing anger, you can validate your experiences and start to heal, breaking the cycle of dysfunctional emotional responses.
Afraid of turning into your parents? You're not alone. We delve into the fear many adult children of BPD or NPD parents have of replicating their parents' toxic behaviors. Therapy can be a powerful tool in unpacking the trauma and fear associated with anger, helping you understand and manage these complex emotions. Tune in as I highlight the importance of seeking professional help and share resources to guide you on this journey.

This episode could be your first step toward managing anger constructively and embarking on your path to emotional healing. See you next episode!
