Reclaiming Yourself: Cynthia Bailey-Rug on Prioritizing Your Needs in Relationships

Don't believe this lie that the narcissist told you. In fact, the fact a narcissist has told you this is proof. There's something pretty wonderful about you.
Ever feel like you have to put everyone else's needs above your own just to keep the peace? In this heartfelt episode, Cynthia Bailey-Rug tackles the tough reality many abuse victims face: the belief that they must forget themselves to make relationships work. Drawing from her own experiences with toxic narcissists, Cynthia shares how these dysfunctional beliefs are often ingrained by past traumas.
She explains how feeling the need to suppress your own feelings, wants, and needs is a common trauma response, stemming from repeated emotional wounds inflicted by others. Cynthia offers a refreshing perspective on what healthy relationships should look like. She reminds listeners that true love involves mutual support and care, not one-sided sacrifices. It's okay to accept help and be yourself; you are not a burden. Anyone who genuinely loves you will appreciate you for who you are.
The episode is packed with empowering reminders that you have the same rights as everyone else and deserve to be treated with love and respect. Cynthia encourages listeners to reclaim their self-worth and set boundaries that honor their needs. If you're struggling with prioritizing yourself in relationships, this episode is a must-listen. Cynthia's compassionate and relatable approach makes this episode both insightful and comforting.
Her blend of personal anecdotes and practical advice provides a roadmap for anyone looking to break free from the cycle of self-neglect in abusive relationships.
