This book is not intended to convince you that you have a narcissistic parent. The definition of a narcissistic parent comes down to your opinion. At the end of the day, toxic is toxic, and it doesn't matter if they are narcissistic or just plain mean and bitter. Toxic is toxic.
Saying or thinking you have a narcissistic parent is not a diagnosis. It's a description, and it’s perfectly acceptable to use this term to describe a person’s behavior. However, the only way a person can be diagnosed with a narcissistic personality disorder is if they walk into a therapist's office and admit these behaviors are causing problems in their life. Short of that, someone with a full-blown narcissistic personality disorder is unlikely to go anywhere near a mental health professional unless they have an ulterior motive (like trying to get themselves out of trouble with family or the law).
It also doesn’t work trying to figure this out on your own. We don’t have enough information. So not..

D. Sorenson is a hypnotherapist working with women and men from all over the world who were raised by a narcissistic parent. Bringing awareness and resources for this kind of abuse is critical because it's invisible, and many adults will spend their entire lives never knowing the truth. The truth may not be pleasant, but in the end, it will set you free. You can find more information at ragingfemale.com.
