  • Dozens of tools for core shame, internalized criticism and more
  • Confidently navigate emotional enmeshment
  • Best practices to restore emotional safety and authentic identity
  • Keys to “low contact” and “no contact”

Anxiety, perfectionism, or relationships that never seem to work …

… whatever brings them to you, so many clients describe a childhood that wasn’t that bad” with a mother who was “hard to please.”

But when you start exploring that maternal relationship, the room changes. Defenses come up.

There’s loyalty. Confusion. Shame. Attachment is anxious, avoidant – or both. And their identity? Well, it feels entirely shaped by others’ expectations.

That’s why therapist and author of Recovering from Narcissistic Mothers: A Daughter's Workbook, Ellen Biros, created this one-day training …

… to give you a clear blueprint to identify and skillfully treat the core wounds these clients carry so they can reclaim their voice, rebuild their identity, and create relationships rooted in authenticity and self-respect.

When you watch Ellen, she’ll show you how to:

  • Spot the subtle but powerful markers of narcissistic parenting and attachment trauma
  • Work with core shame, internalized criticism, and identity confusion
  • Help clients navigate loyalty binds, complex grief, and emotional enmeshment
  • Use clinical strategies to restore self-agency, emotional safety, and authentic identity

PLUS you’ll learn how you can best help clients navigate decisions around low contact, no contact, or strategic interaction.

Whether you’ve had one client like this or dozens, you know how stuck these cases can feel – and how painful it is for clients to remain trapped in old dynamics.

This training gives you the tools to help them break that cycle – and finally begin to heal.
