Episode 120 Come join me as I get to speak with David Doerrier about growing up with a narcissistic mother. The world centered around her needs, and he was invisible. As a kid, He never talked. and that's still something that's difficult. David always had fears. He was the oldest of five kids that was picked on by his siblings. He had become the target and believed he could not come home with anything positive and was afraid to express mistakes. Being picked on bled over into school as well as other students witnessed David being teased by his siblings. So, he learned to just not talk to anybody. David withdrew and became depressed. It is no surprise that David entered into narcissistic relationships time after time until he realized something had to change. He recognized the choices he made were based in fear because he came from a place of self-worth being low and bravely sought help, guidance, and support.
