Torie Wiksell

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


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

I know firsthand how isolating and overwhelming a relationship with a BPD or NPD parent can be. I grew up with a mom who had some combination of narcissistic and borderline personality disorder, and I experienced the emotional manipulation, toxic dynamics, and constant chaos first hand. It can make you feel crazy.

Each week on You're Not Crazy, I share personal stories while providing listeners with the tools and clarity they need to take back control of their lives. Whether you’re trying to set new boundaries, considering going low or no-contact, or simply trying to find peace amidst the chaos, I’m here to help and cheer you on!

What people are saying about You're Not Crazy...

Thank you so much for being here.

When I first started You're Not Crazy, I never imagined it growing into what it is today. It's turned into the lifeline I needed when I was starting on my own healing journey, and I'm so grateful to you for allowing me to show up each week and talk honestly about topics that are typically taboo.

These bonus episodes are where I get to go even deeper. They're where I post topics that feel too personal to post on the main feed. There where I continue to share my thoughts about everything having to do with dysfunctional families.

When you subscribe, you're not just getting 2 new bonus episodes each month plus the archive — you're helping me keep this work going. You’re making sure this corner of the internet stays honest and here for the people who need it.

It seriously means the world to me. I'm so incredibly glad you're here.
