Meet your host
Taylor Damiani
Hi, I’m Taylor! I’m a Psychologist, Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Coach, and someone who has walked the path you're on. Growing up with a narcissistic parent, I intimately understand the confusion, self-doubt, and relentless search for identity that can come with this kind of upbringing. I was plagued by the question: "Who am I, really?" It's a question that can echo through your life like an unanswered riddle.
My passion and purpose are to help people raised by narcissistic parents to reclaim their sense of self, peace, and purpose. What’s become clear to me through this work and my own journey is that healing together is a powerful source of strength and inspiration. That's why I decided to create this summit. It's a beacon of hope, a space for collective healing, and a reminder that, in unity, we find the strength to rewrite our stories. You are not alone – you are part of a community that understands, supports, and empowers.
