If they can justify the awful things they've done, they hope to take away your anger. After all, how can you be angry about the horrible things that were done if there was good reason for it?
Ever wondered why narcissists often justify their bad behavior long after the fact? Cynthia Bailey-Rug dives into this puzzling tactic called retroactive justification. In this episode, she unpacks how narcissists use this strategy to twist past events in their favor, making their actions seem reasonable while undermining the victim's feelings. By reinterpreting their abusive actions, narcissists aim to dodge accountability and maintain control over their narrative. This can leave victims feeling confused and invalidated, perpetuating the cycle of abuse.
Cynthia’s clear explanations and relatable examples help listeners recognize this toxic behavior and understand that it’s not their fault. She emphasizes the importance of setting boundaries and seeking professional help to break free from these harmful patterns. Tune in to gain practical advice and reclaim your peace of mind.
