So what can happen is you can end up mirroring the narcissist's behavior because the brain is almost like. Well, if I want to stay safe, then surely if I mirror their behavior, because that behavior must kind of be okay, if they're behaving like that, then I'm going to behave like it as well. And that's where you can start to sometimes look narcissistic as well.
Ever wondered why you might start acting like the narcissist you were once with? Caroline Strawson tackles this unsettling question in 'Am I Turning Into A Narcissist? - Mirror Neurons Explained'. In this episode of 'The Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Recovery Podcast', Caroline dives into why victims of narcissistic abuse sometimes find themselves mimicking narcissistic behaviours.
She sheds light on the role of mirror neurons in our brains and how they make us reflect the actions of those around us, including toxic traits. But don't worry, questioning your behaviour is a good sign. Narcissists never self-reflect; they blame others. Caroline emphasizes the importance of approaching these behaviours with curiosity and compassion rather than fear. She also discusses why narcissists don't mirror codependency and how a trauma-informed perspective can help you understand and manage these traits.
Whether you're just starting your recovery journey or are deep into it, this episode offers valuable insights to help you heal and grow.
