SURVIVING THE HOLIDAYS WITH A NARCISSISTIC FAMILY
A trauma-informed workbook for boundaries, emotional safety and peace – before, during and after family gatherings

Do you start dreading the holidays weeks in advance? Do you walk in as an adult and leave feeling like a small child again? Do the same comments, the same roles and the same guilt show up every single year – and you still end up explaining, defending and apologizing?

You are not too sensitive. Holidays bring back the old family system: the roles you were assigned, the rules nobody says out loud and the fear, obligation and guilt that keep you in place. This 42-page workbook helps you plan ahead, stay grounded at the table and recover afterwards – so the season can finally belong to you.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
WHAT'S INSIDE – 5 PARTS, 13 GUIDED EXERCISES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
1. Understanding – why the holidays reopen old wounds, the roles we are assigned (golden child, scapegoat, peacekeeper…), fear, obligation and guilt
2. Before – go, limit or stay home decision guide, boundaries that hold, calm responses to predictable comments, allies, partners and children
3. During – grounding at the table, gray rock and calm distance, when you are provoked: pause before you react
4. After – decompressing after a gathering, the guilt hangover, grieving the family you deserved
5. A New Season – designing your own holiday, 14-day holiday check-in

PLUS: visit & exit plan with pocket cards, quick reference page and references.
