These behaviors, although dysfunctional, don't have to be permanent. With prayer and some work on your part, you can make healthy changes.
Growing up with a narcissistic parent can leave deep scars, often manifesting in behaviors that hinder our adult lives. In this episode, Cynthia Bailey-Rug takes a compassionate dive into these common dysfunctional behaviors and offers practical advice on how to break free from them. Ever find yourself unable to say 'no'? Cynthia explains how a lack of boundaries in childhood leads to this struggle and emphasizes the importance of learning to assert yourself.
She encourages you to question why you’re saying 'yes' and to practice setting healthy limits. Do you apologize excessively? This habit often stems from the blame-shifting tactics of narcissistic parents. Cynthia shares insights on recognizing when an apology is truly necessary and when it’s not, urging you to seek divine guidance in this process. Another critical point she touches on is emotional repression.
Many children of narcissistic parents are taught to stifle their feelings, leading to either bottling up emotions or expressing them inappropriately. Cynthia advises reconnecting with your emotions and finding healthy outlets for them. Gaslighting is another insidious form of abuse that makes you doubt your own perceptions. Cynthia reassures listeners that their feelings and thoughts are valid and trustworthy, encouraging them to seek spiritual support to rebuild self-trust.
Lastly, she discusses the tendency to over-explain oneself, a behavior learned from trying to meet impossible expectations. Not everyone deserves an explanation, and Cynthia highlights the importance of finding a balance in communication. This episode is a heartfelt guide for anyone looking to understand and overcome the dysfunctional behaviors instilled by narcissistic parenting. With prayer, self-reflection, and effort, Cynthia assures us that healing and healthy change are within reach.
