Does Your Parent Mean to Hurt You? Why Intent Doesn’t Matter (and What Actually Does)

When you grow up with an emotionally unpredictable or narcissistic parent, it’s easy to get stuck trying to figure out their intent especially when there were both good and painful moments.

In this episode, we’re breaking down why that question keeps you stuck and what actually matters when it comes to healing and setting boundaries.

Because the truth is, it’s not about whether they mean to hurt you. It’s about what they continue to do and how it impacts you.
