Narcissist Rehab Podcast - Surviving Narcissism Narcissist Rehab Podcast

We often find ourselves in complex and complicated situations, but with a friend. In some cases these friends can be someone we’ve known for years and also someone you just met. Do you or have you ever had a friend that you always have to defend to others? That’s never really there for you when you needed them? They always have time to other things and people, but never for you? You find yourself communicating with this person or they don’t even care about you or what’s happening in your life? Much of what we have discussed in this podcast relates to romantic relationships, but often we find ourselves dealing with a narcissist from a friendship perspective. How do we handle a toxic friend? Are they actually toxic, or am I just over reacting? Lets find out.

This first episode of 2022, I wanted to say Thank You for your continued support and those who listen. I continue to read e-mails connect with many across the U.S and other countries and it's humbling to be able to share this experience with you.

This episode highlights why Narcissist is hardwired to destroy.

Narcissistic men and woman alike have a need to feel validated and want others to see them as superior, having the upper hand at all cost and have no mercy when it comes to protecting their own true identities.They seek competition in everything, in their personal and professional life and they just want to win. They want to use you as a supply as you continue to fulfill their goals and needs in the friendship and relationship and they make you feel like they’re the only person who wants whats best for you. If you are in a relationship/friendship with someone, you’ve seen the red flags your gut is trying to tell you the truth, as our minds have way of playing tricks on us— we try to overlook and avoid and think that people can change. Again, this way of thinking is why you are in these relationship and friendships. Don’t get my wrong, there are a small about of people in the world who truly love, show empathy, compassion and care for others—but you always seem to find yourself attracted the broken/toxic ones. You have a moral code, and it’s not about winning, I challenge you to take notice, take notes and really pay attention to what’s happening. As we continue to progress forward, don’t ignore these signals— you’re intuition is probably right.

Fighting the urges of no contact, and focusing on your progress. Stop isolating yourself.


* Isolation creates more opportunities to fall into sadness, depression and makes us feel more anxious and trapped in a never ending cycle. We start thinking about what really happened and why did we fail? Did we fail? Are we not good enough? We become more critical in evaluating who we are, as a person and less focused on the people who purposely broke us down, because we are we’re not worthy of their time or energy. You feel like in a way that we really deserved the abuse as almost like a form of punishment, they’re right, I’ll never be good enough and what they spoke was the truth. This is your subconscious mind, believing the lies and the seeds that that a narcissist plants and is almost soul crushing. You feel like this cycle is endless, and no one can see things from your perspective because no one understands.

Overt behaviors are those that can be easily observed by others, such as those of the traditional narcissist You ever have a conversation with someone and it feels like they’re trying to pressure you into telling them how nice, or important or accomplished they are? Passive Self-Importance - in a more subtle way, buy not over the top they constantly want you to give them validation and they will make comments to lead you into praising them at something they know they’re already good at. You’ll notice too that The reality for both the overt and covert narcissist is that they have a fragile sense of self. The covert narcissist certainly craves importance and thirsts for admiration but it can look different An overt narcissist will display all kinds of attention seeking behaviors, compared to a covert but in a sly under the table approach. both the overt and covert narcissist is that they have a fragile sense of self. The covert narcissist will be much more likely to constantly seek reassurance about their talents, skills, and accomplishments, looking for others to feed that same need for self-importance. A covert narcissist explain why something is your fault and they are not to blame. They might even pretend to be a victim of your behavior to put themselves in a position to receive reassurance and praise from you.the goal of the narcissist is to make the other person feel less than superior to their victim People with covert narcissism might make dismissive or sarcastic remarks and act as if they’re above the criticism. But internally, they might feel empty, humiliated, or enraged.

Let's face it 2020 was nightmare, and 2021 looks to provide the same chaos that we are all too familiar with. Firstly, I want to "Thank You", everyone who has been a listener since the podcast began. I have received numerous e-mails and messages from all over the world who have listened and loved the podcast, and have wondered what I've been up to the past year. I stopped recording last year to focus on work, my business and my relationship. I have had many ups and downs just like anyone else, and we are all a work in progress. When I set out to start this podcast, I did with the intentions of using this therapy to connect with others, and. I am floored by the responses of you all. I am humbled, grateful and thankful for you all and although what we experienced completely sucked, we are here to connect within this community of survivors to learn and understand so we are not faced with a cycle of repeating this horrible experience over and over. My goal is to continue creating more episodes, and transition to life after narcissism and what we are empaths face in the reality of not trusting, and living a guarded life so that we don't allow ourselves to get hurt again. Remember, this isn't a race- its a marathon and we all go at our own pace. We have to be transparent with ourselves, and there is no time limit on healing yourself so that you can be the BEST version of yourself. See you in the next episode!
