About the Author, Diane Metcalf: Hi there! I'd like you to know that I’m a survivor of a narcissistic mother and later, intimate partner violence. These experiences were painful but transformative, bringing me to where I am today: engaged in helping others find clarity, empowerment, and peace after emotional trauma. They shaped how I show up in the world: with heart, knowledge, and a deep respect for the strength it takes to heal.
Readers have very kindly described me as a “passionate advocate and a comforting guide” for those facing the challenges of narcissistic abuse, family dysfunction, and toxic relationships. Everything I do is rooted in a deep desire to support others on their healing journey.
My background is in psychology, and through my writing, I blend personal experience with professional insight to offer grounded and relatable guidance. My books are designed not just to inform, but to support real change. They’re full of practical tools for reclaiming your voice, setting boundaries, and moving forward with strength, purpose, and dignity.
I’m truly honored to connect with you and look forward to walking beside you on your healing journey.
