narcissistic parent

In today's episode, I will be sharing my personal journey on "The Covert Signs of Narcissistic Abuse." As someone who has experienced emotional abuse, I hope my story resonates with you and aids in your own process of healing from narcissistic abuse.

What is narcissistic abuse, and how does it manifest? The term often brings to mind overt behaviors, but covert narcissistic abuse is just as damaging. This form of abuse is subtle, hidden, and oftentimes even more confusing to identify. Relationships with narcissistic personality disorder individuals can be extremely challenging. Whether you have a narcissistic father, a narcissistic mother, or you're divorcing a narcissist, the patterns and cycles are remarkably similar.

👉🏼Topics Covered:

- My Personal Experience with a Narcissistic Parent

- Recognizing the Narcissistic Abuse Cycle

- Covert vs. Vulnerable Narcissist

- Narcissistic Personality Disorder Relationships: The Red Flags

- How to Recover from a Narcissistic Marriage

- Tips on Coparenting with a Narcissist

- Recovery from Narcissistic Abuse: Steps and Tools

💪🏼 Surviving narcissism is one thing; learning how to recover from narcissistic abuse is another. It takes courage, time, and deep internal work.

📘 My life's work has been dedicated to understanding these issues. I've been through the battles, experienced firsthand the intricacies of the narcissistic abuse cycle, and have spent years researching and teaching how to recover from this emotional trauma.

✨ If you or someone you know is going through the process of recovery from narcissistic abuse or grappling with the challenges of narcissistic personality disorder relationships, this video will provide valuable insights.

In this episode, I will explore the intricate connection between childhood trauma, attachment theory and patterns of behavior that  contribute to the emotional and psychological factors that trap trauma survivors in the cycle of abuse.  Through sharing my personal story of abuse, I will attempt to answer the perplexing question of why victims of narcissistic relationships find it so difficult to leave their abusive partners. 

Drawing from personal narratives and research, I explore the lasting effects of childhood trauma, including neglect, abuse, abandonment, or inconsistent caregiving. I discuss how these early wounds can disrupt healthy attachment styles, impair self-esteem, and contribute to difficulties in establishing and maintaining healthy boundaries. Furthermore, I examine the ways in which individuals who have experienced childhood trauma may be more susceptible to the manipulative tactics employed by narcissists. I explore the connection between unmet emotional needs, a longing for validation, and the allure of charismatic individuals who initially appear to fill those voids. 

Throughout the episode, I emphasize the importance of trauma-informed care, therapy, and healing modalities in addressing the impact of childhood trauma on adult relationships. I delve into the process of self-discovery, self-compassion, and reestablishing healthy relationship patterns that empower individuals to break free from the cycle of narcissistic abuse. 

Fostering empathy, understanding, and accessible resources, can help us create a more compassionate society that prioritizes the healing and well-being of survivors. By shedding light on this connection, I strive to promote healing, resilience, and empower individuals to break free from destructive patterns and cultivate healthier, more fulfilling relationships. 

If you or someone you know is experiencing narcissistic abuse or any form of abuse, it is important to seek help and support. Reach out to local helplines, counseling services, or organizations specializing in domestic violence or abuse. Remember, you are not alone and there are resources available to assist you.

This episode is another one where I share some of what I’ve studied on the topic of trauma by narcissistic abuse.
I’ll be going over some ways that the narcissistic parent will typically traumatize their children, as well as talk about PTSD and C-PTSD. I will give a couple of personal examples as well.

Here are the links to the websites that I used as my sources for todays episode.

In this episode I have a chat with Yvonne Dam who shares with us her story of being a workaholic to becoming the CEO of her own life.  Yvonne's childhood wasn't easy; she grew up knowing how to please, how to be silent and how to say the right things people wanted to hear. When she started working for a large audit firm, at first she did very well. She enjoyed working there, and did rise the corporate ladder- yet, lost herself along the way. Yvonne's mission is to show others they don't have to work 24/7 to become successful.

No one resents their daughters more than narcissistic mothers. To them, their daughter is more than an extension or an accessory.

This daughter threatens to destroy the ego of the narcissist mother, so the mother is forced to destroy the daughter - slowly, little-by-little.

In this episode, we're going to explore the relationship of the narcissistic mother to her daughter. We'll also look at the lasting impact this relationship has on the daughter in her adult life and relationships.

What We're Talking About:
- The Narcissistic Mother
- Destroying the Daughter
- Learning to Live As a Daughter of a Narcissist

A Few More Resources:
- Understanding Toxic Mothers
- A Love Letter to My Narcissist Mother
- Healing the Mother Wound

Within narcissistic family units lies some of the most hidden and covert forms of narcissism held under the titles of respect for elders, conformity to tradition and acceptance under cultural norms.

If you were born or raised from within a narcissistic family unit, you may have tried to execute your voice of reason, feedback or sharing a viewpoint that is contrary to accepted standards, and when you did, you may have been called, disrespectful.

In this episode we are going to discuss (1) why the narcissist uses the word disrespect to shut down conversations and (2) decode what is really happening (3) why open sharing is such a detriment to a narcissist, (4) what they are trying to protect (5) Discuss options for the party that is called 'disrespectful.'

In this episode, Diane talks candidly with Rick about the distinction between narcissitic personality disorder and narcissitic tendencies that we all may struggle with. They discuss how narcisstic abuse affects co-parents and their children and strategies to preserve a sense of self-worth when a narcissist is determined to destroy it to maintain their own one-up position.

Resources to assist those who are healing from narcisisstic abuse:

• Patricia Evans' groundbreaking book, The Verbally Abusive Relationship, is a must read for all who listen to this podcast and think they may be a victim of narcissistic abuse. Find it on Amazon here.
• Disarming the Narcissist offers great advice about how to avoid losing yourself in the games played by your narcissistic parent or co-parent. Find it on Amazon here.
• Children of the Self-Abosrbed is one of the frequently recommended books for children who are experiencing the abuses of a narcissitic parent. Find it on Amazon here.
• Narcissists tend to target people who may define themselves as “empaths.” To learn more, find the book, Empaths, on Amazon here.

Diane gave a couple of examples of how to respond to the narcissistic parent when they continually are asking for something that you don't think is realistic to give. Here are the answers she quoted on the show:

"Thank you for your message, but it's content is the very reason flexibility doesn't work for us. If every time I say no to a request, I g

By design, one or more narcissistic parent(s) have created a disturbing and unhealthy relational connection between the family assigned roles of scapegoat and golden child. Neither role is desirable, and both suffer from consequences of this defined role not only with how they relate to the narcissistic parent, but with each other. 

In this article we are going to discuss the harrowing relational dynamics between these two roles which continues even into adulthood.

John, now a grandparent himself, has had a staggering and eye opening experience with his parents; his Dad who is heavily narcissistic in his behaviour, and his Mum who has lost her soul in her life of submission. John became informed and learnt to step out of this family dynamic. His launch into his current life approach is enlightening and heart-warming. He can now care for them and keep his head.
