Trapped in Their Script: Reclaim Your Life from Narcissistic Parents & Cultural Expectations - Hardcover

by Agatha Peters (Author)

Do you feel trapped between honoring your parents and protecting yourself?

In many cultures, children are taught that respecting parents is sacred, that family loyalty comes first, and that questioning elders means betraying tradition. But what happens when a parent's "love" leaves deep wounds that no one else can see?

Most books about narcissistic parents assume you can simply cut ties or set firm boundaries. But in collectivist cultures, where community is survival and family ties run generations deep, that advice is both presumptuous and unhelpful. The path to healing requires an entirely different approach.

Inside Trapped in Their Script: Reclaim Your Life from Narcissistic Parents & Cultural Expectations, you'll discover:

- The true signs of narcissistic parenting in cultural contexts

- How this abuse shapes your childhood and adult relationships

- When cultural "respect" becomes a tool for control

- The difference between narcissistic abuse and other family struggles

- Practical ways to protect yourself while honoring your heritage

- A culturally-responsive path to healing and freedom

Drawing from both personal experience and years of clinical practice, therapist Agatha Peters creates a vital bridge between cultural identity and recovery from narcissistic abuse.
