Narcissists aren't born, you know, and I certainly know. And of course that must mean I'm worthy, I'm good enough, lovable and I'm important then too.
Ever wondered if narcissists are born or shaped by their experiences? Caroline Strawson tackles this burning question in her latest episode of 'The Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Recovery Podcast'. With a compassionate and insightful approach, Caroline dives deep into the origins of narcissistic personality disorder, shedding light on the impact of intergenerational trauma and the development of protective parts that define narcissistic behaviour. Caroline explains that narcissists aren't born with this disorder.
Instead, their actions stem from deep-seated worthiness wounds and trauma passed down through generations. These protective parts, formed during childhood, are meant to shield them from pain but often lead to the harmful behaviours associated with narcissism. By understanding these root causes, victims of narcissistic abuse can start to see that the behaviour they endured isn't their fault. Throughout the episode, Caroline offers valuable insights into how these protective parts manifest, such as people-pleasing and deflecting behaviour.
She also discusses practical steps for those affected by narcissistic abuse to set boundaries and protect themselves. The episode is a blend of empathy and practical advice, making it a must-listen for anyone grappling with the aftermath of narcissistic relationships. Caroline's empathetic style and thorough exploration of these complex issues provide listeners with a deeper understanding of narcissistic behaviour and how to heal from its impact.
Whether you're dealing with narcissistic abuse yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers crucial knowledge and support to help you move forward.
