Hi, I'm Torie Wiksell! I'm a therapist, coach, and host of the podcast, “You're Not Crazy.” I also grew up with a mother who had some combination of borderline and narcissistic personality disorder, and completely understand what a shitshow that relationship can be.
I've spent the majority of my 11+ year career as a psychotherapist working with clients with personality disorders, their family members, and partners. And, I now work exclusively with the adult children of parents who have borderline and narcissistic personality disorders.
The thing is, there aren't a lot of resources for people like us out there, and that can make you feel like you're all alone or crazy. I promise you're not, and I can't wait to help you get a handle on your complicated family situation!
Dealing with a parent who has BPD or NPD is complicated.
But, you don't have to figure it out on your own.
