In this episode, I’m joined by psychologist and author Dr Rachna Buxani, whose book Unseen: A Therapist’s Reflection on a Daughter’s Journey Through a Narcissistic Father’s Shadow.

Together, we explore what happens when a father’s love feels more like control than care?

We discuss the impact of growing up in emotional silence, the silent erosion of self-trust, and how a child learns to survive by disconnecting from her own voice. Dr Buxani shares reflections on memory, self-doubt, and the invisible grief of never feeling truly seen by a narcissistic father.

If you’ve ever questioned your own experiences, apologised for having needs, or felt like love was something you had to earn, this episode is for you!

Looking Forward 2026

I’m excited to announce that I’ll be running another 6-Week C.A.L.M. Parent Method in February - Doors open January 26th - Join the Waitlist today.

Here's what some of the parents who completed the course last year have shared:

“Doing The Calmer Parent course was absolutely invaluable” Nicola

“This has been the most impactful course I’ve ever taken” Steph

“I’m sincere when I say my husband and I have repeatedly said this is the best parenting course we’ve ever paid for” Annalisa
