It requires this complex set of observation and reactions to avoid the potential of being hurt and to be a trophy child, the good child, the child who's a gift, the child that will make the narcissist feel good, and that's no easy task.
Ever felt paralyzed by anxiety in situations that don’t seem all that threatening? In this episode of The Self-Love Recovery Podcast, Ross Rosenberg dives into the 'Affective Delay System', a concept that sheds light on why people with Self-Love Deficit Disorder (SLD), also known as codependency, often experience overwhelming fear and anxiety. Ross explains that this delay system is a defense mechanism formed during childhood to cope with the erratic behavior of a narcissistic parent.
While it might have helped as a child, it becomes counterproductive in adulthood, causing unnecessary stress and fear. Ross, a seasoned psychotherapist and author, uses his deep understanding of narcissistic abuse and trauma to guide listeners through the complexities of this phenomenon. He encourages those affected to trust their instincts and work on eliminating the 'freeze-effect' that holds them back.
By understanding and addressing this delay, individuals can learn to manage their emotions better and respond more appropriately to life's challenges. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with the lingering effects of a difficult childhood or struggling with codependency. Ross's empathetic approach and expert insights provide a pathway to healing and emotional freedom. Tune in to discover how you can start dismantling these old defense mechanisms and move towards a healthier, more balanced life.
