They trap their victims via the intellect. Trust your gut and walk away, because if you try to argue with them, you're actually playing into their game, because they want you to fight.
Ever felt like you're being outsmarted and belittled by someone who seems to have all the answers? In this episode of the 'Narcissism Recovery Podcast,' Yitz Epstein unpacks the defense mechanism known as intellectualization. Narcissistic abusers often use their intellect to dodge accountability and vulnerability, leaving their victims feeling inadequate and confused. They cloak their manipulation in complex words and rational arguments, making it hard for you to see through their facade.
Yitz emphasizes the importance of trusting your gut feelings and walking away from these intellectual predators. Arguing with them only plays into their hands, so recognizing these patterns is key to breaking free. Tune in to gain insights on how to protect yourself from this cunning form of abuse and start your journey towards emotional freedom.
