So, when we talk about a child who has been split off from their authentic self, this is usually what happened, no matter what kind of abuse occurred, no matter if it was intentional or not.
Ever wondered how childhood experiences shape your adult self-worth? In this revealing episode of the 'Narcissism Recovery Podcast', Yitz Epstein takes a deep dive into the unsettling world of childhood gaslighting. Narcissistic parents often use this manipulative tactic to control their children, leaving lasting scars on their sense of reality and self-esteem. Yitz unpacks the ways parents can, sometimes unintentionally, invalidate their child's feelings and existence.
He explains that when parents neglect or reject their children, it can lead to a lifetime of self-rejection and confusion. Through poignant examples, Yitz illustrates how negative parental messages become ingrained, forming a false narrative that haunts children into adulthood. The emotional aftermath of childhood gaslighting can be profound. Adults who experienced this form of abuse often struggle with anxiety, fear of rejection, and overthinking. But there's hope.
Yitz offers practical advice for those seeking to heal from these deep-seated wounds. By understanding the roots of their emotional turmoil, listeners can begin to reclaim their sense of self and find a path to recovery. Whether you're grappling with your own childhood trauma or trying to support someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights and encouragement. Yitz's compassionate approach makes it clear: healing is possible, and you don't have to face it alone.
