Description: In this episode, I’m joined by psychologist and author Dr Rachna Buxani, whose book Unseen: A Therapist’s Reflection on a Daughter’s Journey Through a Narcissistic Father’s Shadow.Together, we explore what happens when a father’s love feels more like control than care?We discuss the impact of growing up in emotional silence, the silent erosion of self-trust, and how a child learns to survive by disconnecting from her own voice. Dr Buxani shares reflections on memory, self-doubt, and the invisible grief of never feeling truly seen by a narcissistic father.If you’ve ever questioned your own experiences, apologised for having needs, or felt like love was something you had to earn, this episode is for you!Looking Forward 2026I’m excited to announce that I’ll be running another 6-Week C.A.L.M.
