The Wizard of Oz and Narcissistic Abuse: A Journey with Prajinta Pesqueda

But for those of us who are older, I'm, and well you know, yeah, I do think that the older you are, the harder it gets.
Ever felt like your life is a surreal movie? For Prajinta Pesqueda, the classic 'Wizard of Oz' mirrors her journey through narcissistic abuse. In this episode of N.A.R.C. Troopers, Prajinta dives into the whimsical yet dark world of Oz, drawing striking parallels between its characters and the traits of narcissistic personalities. She likens the Tin Man to those who craft a false self to deceive others, shedding light on the emotional manipulation that many endure in toxic relationships.
Prajinta doesn't just stop at the fairy tale. She bravely opens up about her own struggles with dependent personality disorder, abandonment issues, and weak boundaries. It's a raw and relatable reflection that many listeners will find themselves nodding along to. But it's not all doom and gloom; Prajinta emphasizes the power of forgiveness, the importance of building new friendships, and finding meaningful work as steps towards healing.
Whether you're in the throes of recovery or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a blend of empathy, wisdom, and a touch of humor to help you navigate the complex path of healing from narcissistic abuse.
