Very clear examples were helpful!
First time listening today. I’ve listened to hours and hours of Narcissistic abuse podcasts.
The one I listened to today episode #63 gave specific examples like a pattern of the N continually critiquing how one does things like the laundry, shifting conversations with
Red Herrings; never able to settle an issue.
The topic of how one speaks to you-I’d like to hear more about this b/c I myself am working on to changing my tone of voice & being more respectful-not demeaning others’ viewpoints.
If that was the model we grew up hearing as children, we may unknowingly be sarcastic.
The more examples the better!
Dr Henry Cloud, author of “Boundaries” calls one key to healthy relationships is
“Mutually Agreed Upon Exceptions” which are often impossible with a Covert or Overt Narcissist.
Great
Thank you for this podcast
Life saver for men too
I’m going through a break up w a woman that drained me of everything. My boundaries, my pride, my money. I became a person who I didn’t know and she made me think itge relationship problems were all me. Stuff I never heard from other partners. I was abusive. I was a narcissist. I had borderline personality disorder. I’ve never heard these things but her family members told me she did but I still thought I was the problem. This podcast is so good I feel they know her personally. lol. It was invaluable to my healing and leaving.
