A licensed psychotherapist for over 30 years, Katherine Fabrizio has been working to help women heal from the guilt, shame and self-doubt that holds them back from living fully.

Katherine believes at the heart of the is problem is the dysfunctional dynamic daughters have with their mothers.

She reasons that because all women have been wounded by the patriarchal culture they can't help but pass these wounds down the maternal line.

To heal, she maintains we need to look no further than the divine feminine. In her book she explains how to look beyond the maternal lie and use feminine power to right the wrongs of mother/daughter dysfunction. .

Katherine has worked as a singer, painter and writer- lover of all things feminine, sensual and creati ...more

Good Girl Conditioning + Difficult Mother = The Good Daughter Syndrome

Good Girl Conditioning in Action When I was nine, I could sense my mom’s bad mood before she even said a word. Her footsteps were heavier, her sighs louder. The air in the house felt sharp, like walking barefoot on broken glass. I didn’t know what had gone wrong that day, but I knew it was my job to fix it. I set the table perfectly—folded napkins, straight silverware—hoping she’d notice. When sh

Katherine Fabrizio and 5 other people liked Cara Meredith's review of Someone Other Than a Mother: Flipping the Scripts on a Woman's Purpose and Making Meaning beyond Motherhood: "My God. This better be voted one of the best books of 2022 when it releases. So chock-full of wisdom, story, research, interviews, questions, wrestling, doubt, and deeply prosaic beauty, I could not get enough. Such a necessary read."

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this thought-provoking, beautifully written book. Although I wanted children and relished my role as a mom, there were vast assumptions that went along with that role that I felt were forced upon me. Looking at the role fr ...more

Quotes by Katherine Fabrizio (?)

“The rebel may shrug off attempts to please Mom since she deems it impossible anyway and cast herself as “the bad child.” She escapes the pressure of being good and looks outwardly independent—but beneath the outward facing, tough chick act is a little girl who wonders if she is loveable. As a result, she has trouble letting anyone get close—better to keep people at arm’s length. The rebel has trouble trusting, while the Good Daughter naively seems to trust everyone. They are mirror images of each other, each a distorted reflection of their mother’s unintegrated aspects of herself.”

Katherine’s Quotes

“ Loneliness is the human condition. Cultivate it. The way it tunnels into you allows your soul room to grow. Never expect to outgrow loneliness. Never hope to find people who will understand you, someone to fill that space. An intelligent, sensitive person is the exception, the very great exception. If you expect to find people who will understand you, you will grow murderous with disappointment. The best you'll ever do is to understand yourself, know what it is that you want, and not let the cattle stand in your way.”
― Janet Fitch, White Oleander
