To no longer be dictated by the negative beliefs of your narcissistic mother instilled in your about your body, you have to learn to reconnect with your body at a deeper level, release trauma, and treat her with the kindness and reverence she deserves. ā£
ā£
Hereās how you can start: ā£
ā£
š¹ Self-Acceptance: Embrace your body unconditionally, recognising her uniqueness and deserving of love despite any flaws instilled by your narcissistic mother.ā£
