This episode is an excerpt from my interview at the **Healing the Mother Wound Summit**. We explore why the covert narcissistic mother can be so difficult to recognize, how seemingly ordinary interactions quietly shape a child's developing sense of self, and why a mother can be physically present yet emotionally absent. I also introduce the concept of the *technical relationship*—a pattern that many adults unconsciously carry into their own relationships.
