    Understanding the Narcissistic Spectrum: The Role of Self-Awareness [Ep. 819]

    Self-awareness and a lack there of is your big determination to honestly understand if someone has significant signs and symptoms of narcissism or not. When dealing with these people, you will find yourself on a very uneven playing ground. The rules do not apply to them!  They make up the rules for the relationship and you must follow them. If not, there will be a problem.  However, they are immune to the rules - the rules do not apply to them -  You learn this over a period of time- in the beginning you’re usually getting attention and having more favorable experiences and then that begins to change.And their attention begins to wane and they begin giving less and less. You will begin to see significant change within them, and wonder why they are changing, sometimes turning very much inward wondering what you have done, and trying harder every day to get back to the beginning of the relationship.If you believe you have a narcissist in your life, you will want to listen to the full podcast and understand the spectrum that is narcissism, Just because someone has two signs and symptoms doesn't mean they are a narcissist. However, some have no empathy, no care about what they do to you, and are constantly using you for what you can do for them. Listen to this podcast and get the clarity you can use to understand these relationships clearly.  #narcissism #narcissistic #narcissist #manipulation #gaslighting #selfawareness #relationships #spectrum #NPD #borderline #gaslight #gaslit #controlling #malignantnarcissist #covertnarcissist  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-ashley-berges-show--1272964/support.

    Why do Borderlines and Narcissists Attract? [Ep: 818]

    There are real reasons why people with borderline personality disorder, signs and symptoms connect with people who are narcissistic and have narcissistic signs and symptoms. The attraction is very deep-seated and somewhat primal. Primal in the sense that the relationship is fast and furious, the borderline getting wrapped up in the narcissist’s persona. The narcissist feeds the borderline what they want and then the love bombing and constant attention stops and then the intermittent reinforcement begins. If you have ever dated someone with borderline personality disorder and one day they dump you by text, they have found a narcissist that they are enamored by. For many people who have codependent tendencies, if you were in a relationship with someone with borderline tendencies and one day they go silent, there is someone else in their life. A narcissist is very skilled at getting the attention of a borderline, pulling them in, and then playing them to get the borderline to basically beg to keep them. Listen to this podcast to learn why this connection initially looks like it works but how it is a ticking time bomb. These two are the perfect puzzle piece for the most painful relationships.

    The Undercover Secret Type of Narcissism Revealed & Explained [Ep.815]

    There’s a specific type of narcissism that goes under the radar. It goes under the radar because it’s the opposite of what you think of when you think of narcissism.

    What Role Does Fear Play in Unhealthy Toxic Relationships? [Ep. 813]

    Unhealthy Relationships have One Common Denominator…FEAR…Unhealthy, toxic, and challenging relationships often begin with love bombing, massive amounts of attention from the other person, codependency, and an over-active mind creating a "perfect life" narrative that makes us overlook the red flags and jump in head first. Often we get into serious relationships, unhealthy marriages, and have children with people that we should not be in a relationship with. We pushed ourselves into these relationships because of the fear of being alone, fear of dying alone, and old school triggers of being the only child, having no one, and being abandoned by parents or family. Having a child with someone is the biggest “contract” you will ever make with someone…Choose wisely! This latest podcast will enlighten you, bring you awareness, and save your ass. Don’t let fear rule your life.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-ashley-berges-show--1272964/support.

    Are you Surrounded by Positive, Negative, Toxic, or Realist People? [Ep: 812]

    In this episode of The Ashley Berges Podcast: Who are you spending your time with? I'm exploring positivity, negativity, toxic positivity, and realist thinking today. How each way of thinking impacts your mindset, relationships, health, success rate, and overall well-being. I’m discussing how negativity drains energy, allows for victimhood, and creates mental and emotional roadblocks. Toxic positivity is something many people are not aware of and fall victim to criticism and negative judgment. Just as harmful as negativity is toxic positivity, where there is no empathy and full judgment if you are not rainbows and unicorns all the time. Listen to this short, under-thirty-minute podcast that will help to identify the energy you have, the energy of others, and how to protect yourself from people who are bringing you down.
