Therapist, Coach, & Host of You're Not Crazy

Hi, I’m Torie Wiksell—a therapist, coach, and advocate for adult children of parents with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and narcissistic personality disorder (NPD).

I grew up with a parent with narcissistic personality disorder myself truly understand how isolating and overwhelming these relationships can be. The toxic dynamics, emotional manipulation, and constant chaos can leave you feeling like you’re losing your sense of self- or even worse, your grip on reality.

I started this podcast to help you see that you are not alone in your struggle and provide you with the tools and clarity you need to take back control of your life. Whether it’s setting firm boundaries, deciding to go no-contact, or simply finding a sense of peace amidst the chaos, I’m here to help you reclaim your confidence and move forward with purpose. You deserve a life defined by you—not by fear, guilt, or your parent’s needs.

"

Someone who finally GETS IT!!! Torie gets it. I finally feel seen/heard/validated and then appropriately guided going through life with a parent who can frequently be quite a struggle to deal with. I’m SO excited to learn more from her as she continues to create episodes. 🫶🏻
