A narcissistic relationship is a mini-cult where the narcissist is, of course, the leader and the victim is the member.
Ever felt like you're trapped in a relationship that seems eerily similar to a cult? Danish Bashir, a Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Professional and Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist, breaks down this startling comparison in this episode. Danish kicks off by explaining the tactics cult leaders use to lure and control their followers. From love bombing to creating an environment of dependence, these strategies are chillingly similar to those employed by narcissists in relationships.
He dives into how cult leaders demoralize members by altering their diets, sleep patterns, and even clothing choices. This mirrors the devaluation phase in narcissistic relationships where victims are manipulated into feeling worthless and entirely dependent on their abuser. Danish's insights offer a new lens through which to view the manipulation and control tactics of narcissists, making it easier to understand and, ultimately, break free from their grip.
If you're looking to understand the psychological parallels between cults and narcissistic relationships, this episode is a must-listen. Danish's empathetic approach provides not just understanding but also practical steps for recovery.
