How to Deal With a Narcissistic Adult Child - Recorded Interview 2

In part two of the conversation, Shannon and I continue exploring the complexities of managing relationships with adult children who exhibit narcissistic tendencies. Shannon emphasizes the importance of first fostering a healthy relationship with oneself as a foundation for setting effective boundaries. We discuss the importance of self-regulation and understanding one's own emotional state before addressing conflicts. The conversation also touches on the impact of enabling behaviors, the consequences of no contact, and the role of trauma in shaping parent-child dynamics.
