Stop walking on eggshells.
Start living life on your own terms.
If you grew up with toxic/narcissistic parents, this is for you
Do you struggle with feeling not good enough or deserving of good things, walking on eggshells, and people-pleasing in order to "earn" love and approval from others? Are you ready to heal from the effects of parental narcissism and reclaim yourself?
This program is for you if you’re...
Anxious and burned out from helping, fixing, caretaking, and peacekeeping.
Struggling to put yourself first...to the point of self-sacrifice!
Abandoning yourself and grappling with the feeling that your only worth is in caretaking for others.
Paralyzed by self-criticism, perfectionism, and people-pleasing as you try to earn others’ love and approval.

We’ll work towards…
Moving from soul-sucking to life-giving relationships
Letting go of people-pleasing and self-sacrificing behaviors
Releasing feelings of guilt & obligation towards your parent
Reclaiming your sense of self
Planting seeds of self-love, self-acceptance, and self-worth
Learning to accept what and whom you can't control

Is this group right for you?
This group is for you if you:
Are willing to share in a group setting.
Can hold respect and non-judgment for the fact that others in the group may have different experiences and perspectives than you.
Are seeking community and camaraderie from other adult children of narcissistic caregivers.
This group is NOT for you if you:
Have never done any individual work/therapy before.
Are not willing to share in a group setting.
Are in crisis or dealing with unmanaged mental health difficulties and might find participating in the group destabilizing.
Cannot respect and support others who are on their own respective healing journeys.
Here’s what group members have said...
“One thing I appreciate is your seasoned advice and response to your clients. You have an open and accepting manner that promotes deeper sharing and safety without judgement. Love and security projects from your responses and your experience and understanding of the nature of narc mothers is obvious.”
"Taylor you rock. This group could not have been so amazing without your preparation, calm, safe demonstration and an open forum to talk about this very subject. Thank you."
"I really like your style, energy, and presence. You are a great [coach], and I'm grateful that my therapist told me about this group so I could be a part of it. You made the group feel really safe, and surprisingly also fun at times (surprising because it's kind of a dark topic). I often find it immensely challenging to talk about my family, but you made it easier than usual which is saying a lot. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for creating this group!"
“I thought it was very validating to have so many people in the same boat share similar experiences, and to have people believe my story (since this is such a rare thing in my life), and to have support for the challenges I'm going through. Overall I felt it was a very rich, rewarding, educational and worthwhile experience and I loved how I met and got to know some very wonderful people!“
"I have a very keen sense for other people's emotion and feedback (as you can imagine) and I can honestly say that in my life I have never received or have witnessed genuine empathy and validation from someone I didn't know. I have such a trigger for someone giving validation. It always feels fake. I can truly say that I have never witnessed someone giving a stranger actual genuine true validation and to experience getting that true honest and heartfelt validation from you was very healing (and seeing you give it to others). If I didn't already have an individual [provider] I would choose you specifically for this reason. Thank you for your heart and genuineness."
"I can't thank you enough for your kindness and help."
"Thank you again for everything. You are a wonderful leader. I will grow from this experience for a long time."
"I thought everything was really helpful and impactful. The community was really beneficial and supportive, so thank you for fostering that environment and creating such a safe and positive space for us to share. I went into the group mostly interested in just learning and I underestimated how important the connections would be for me. But I left feeling really grateful for having met some kindred spirits!"
“I think this group has given me hope that I can connect deeply with others who have gone through this (I had lost hope of having friends when my close friends did not believe my story of my mother's abuse, but this group makes me realize I can connect with people, I just have to find the right people!)”
“I have more strength when I need to stand up to my mother. I appreciate my self more. I am less judgmental of others since everyone is at a different place on the path of healing.”
“I have learned to let go...(for example, letting go of control of the outcome of my actions, or letting go of needing my mother to love me or my Dad to leave my mom) this is big for me. I still struggle with it from time to time, but letting go of trying to control what is out of my control really helped release a huge burden.”
“Thank you so much for all of your one-on-one sessions that were so transformative and helpful. I have been able to distance myself from my mother and father a bit because of our conversations which has really helped regain some of my energy and focus.”
“You’ve changed my life.”
Meet Taylor
Hi, I’m Taylor! I’m a Psychologist, Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Coach, and someone who has walked the path you're on. Growing up with a narcissistic parent, I intimately understand the confusion, self-doubt, and relentless search for identity that can come with this kind of upbringing. I was plagued by the question: "Who am I, really?" It took years of introspection, healing, and self-discovery for me to finally find some answers to that question. I’m still on that journey and am now on a mission to help others who have suffered from toxic and narcissistic upbringings to do the same.
My passion and purpose in life are deeply rooted in helping adult children of narcissistic parents rediscover their essence and reclaim their lives after years of conditioning and codependency. I believe that healing from narcissistic abuse is not just about mending wounds; it's a profound rebirthing process. It's a journey to create who we truly are and to grow into the people we are meant to be.
FAQs

That’s okay - life happens! All members are allowed to miss up to 2 group sessions. The reasoning behind this is to ensure 1) you get the most out of group and 2) the community aspect of group stays in tact.

Shame can't survive when our stories are shared. As adult children of narcissistic parents, we can feel isolated and alone in our experiences. Talking to others who have walked a similar path helps break that isolation, making us realize we're not alone in our journey. Engaging with a group allows us to gain diverse perspectives on our experiences. Others can offer insights and healing strategies that we may not have considered, which can serve as valuable lessons and inspiration.

Totally understandable! It can be nerve-racking to join a group especially if you're afraid of being vulnerable with people you’ve never met before. I’ll also go out on a limb here and guess that you’re fiercely independent and are used to fighting this battle alone. But you don't have to do that anymore. There are other people who have been through similar experiences and sometimes the most validating thing can be to heal in community and be truly seen and heard by others. I make sure our space is safe and supportive, so that everyone feels they can share authentically. Like many of my clients who try group for the first time, you might be pleasantly surprised to find that you connect with other kindred spirits.

Only you can answer this. What if you could stop walking on eggshells? What if you could start living your life on your own terms? What value would you place on that? What is the value of your healing?
-
Please note: this is not a psychotherapy group. This is a group coaching program. It includes education, skills, tools, discussion, self-reflection, experiential exercises, support, validation, and community.

I offer a variety of payment plans to accommodate all budgets. If the payment plans offered on the checkout page don’t work for you, just email taylor@taylordamiani.com and we can work something out.
As adult children of narcissistic parents, a common struggle we have is investing in ourselves and our own healing. We struggle with feeling worthy or deserving of spending our money on ourselves. But investing in yourself and your growth can be a powerful and transformative experience. You deserve to prioritize your healing and do this for yourself.

Group sizes vary but are usually no more than 4-7.
