Negative Intimacy Another Look Under the Hood of Narcissistic Behavior Mixdown 1
In this episode Brook and Tony discuss Negative Intimacy, a term used to describe how someone with a narcissistic personality keeps the other parent hooked in conflict by applying this often unconscious strategy in order control and punish them. It is a hard concept to understand because it makes no sense and does harm to the children by keeping them in the middle of the ongoing fight between the two parents. Brook and Tony discuss how this narcissistic attachment style can develop during childhood and become a pattern in adulthood.

EpEmotional Blackmail, A Double Bind Conversation Leading From Entitlement to Weaponization
In this episode Brook and Tony discuss how children often use Emotional Blackmail and put their parents in areas of discomfort to get what the want. This is especially prevalent during parental discourse and conflict. The parent doesn't want to make the child feel uncomfortable during times of change and allow for things they might not normally. This can lead to the Child's sense of Entitlement and the development of strong narcissistic traits later in life. How parents get comfortable with the uncomfortable feelings for both themselves and their children is an important skillset to develop.

Customer Reviews
Exactly what I needed
I love that there is a lot of focus on how to be a better parent rather than focus on the other party. More how to manage and protect the children rather than documenting and how to win against the other party. Great job on self awareness. Thank you!
Great Co-Parenting Resource
I’m blessed with having a very controlling toxic ex that opposes everything I suggest. I say black, he says white. We’re going through a very high conflict custody battle right now and this podcast has taught me so much and given me the guidance to navigate through these tough waters of “co-parenting”. I’ve learned that I cannot change his toxic ways/perception of me. But I can change how I react and choose to disengage and NOT take the bait. And to keep my focus on my child’s feelings and what is going to be in her best interest. Thank you guys for all the due diligence you go through. It’s helped me immensely!!! Highly recommend for any HCCP’s <333
Helpful
Helpful so far. Great concepts to consider. I hope there are more female voices to come. In the beginning it feels very male centered when discussing his “psycho ex”, a term used against women historically to invalidate our feelings. Would also love discussion around the situations that require engagement and advocacy for the children (abuse, neglect, and the gray areas like keeping kids up late all the time or unsafe/poor living conditions) and how to handle them.
