This video describes the experience, signs and impact of being raised by engulfing (vs ignoring) parents (very common in parents/caregivers who struggle with narcissistic, immature, borderline traits/diagnoses.)

Engulfment can make you feel like you are trapped in these relationships, often defined by experiencing good love and bad love (splitting, relationally/emotionally unstable, conditional dynamics).

Many overinvolved parents display engulfment on the inside it can feel smothering, suffocating and disallow a child of developing a separate sense of self and life. On the outside, it can look like a devoted, involved parent who "just wants the best for their child."

We explore signs of feeling trapped, engulfing dynamics, what to do to work on healing from engulfment and end with journal questions you can use to further your healing journey from engulfing parents and relationships.
