Tired of feeling guilty?
Guilty for saying no. Guilty for setting boundaries. Guilty for not making her happy.
You don't have to live like that anymore.
I can show you how.

When your mother criticizes, controls, or crosses boundaries, the backlash can be so intense that staying quiet feels safer than speaking up. Over time, you learn to keep the peace by shrinking yourself -- and guilt becomes the glue holding the relationship together.

If this feels familiar, you may have grown up with a narcissistic mother, a borderline mother, or an emotionally immature mother who blurred the line between her needs and yours.

Whether the manipulation was loud or subtle, the result is the same: you become the enmeshed daughter who carries her emotions, stabilizes her moods, and loses sight of your own life.

In this expanded second edition, psychotherapist Katherine Fabrizio offers new insights, somatic tools, and psychodynamic guidance to help you break this lifelong pattern -- without automatically going no-contact, abandoning yourself, or staying trapped in the "good daughter" role.

Inside, you'll learn:
Why daughters of controlling or toxic mothers feel responsible for everyone's happiness
How enmeshment, blurred boundaries, and parentification silently shape your identity and self-worth
How guilt-tripping, gaslighting, and emotional manipulation keep you in the "good daughter" role
How to stop people-pleasing and self-erasure -- without becoming "the bad daughter"
Why her behavior isn't your fault - and never was
Practical steps to heal the mother wound, break trauma bonds, and create freedom on your terms

With clinical depth and lived insight, The Good Daughter Syndrome shows you how to release the guilt,
