Without doing so, unfortunately, these pull us back. They pull us back. They drag us down because you cannot move on into adulthood without closing the file with your abusers, with your past, and that is why healing, grieving, resolving conflicts and closing the emotional file is paramount for health, for mental health and, ultimately, to avoid any exploitive relationships that promise to get your needs met.
What happens when narcissistic abuse leaves a lasting mark on mental health? In this episode of the 'Narcissism Recovery Podcast', Yitz Epstein dives into this complex relationship. He starts by defining mental illness as an inability to correctly assess situations due to emotional turmoil, leading to behavioral issues and mental unease. Yitz then connects the dots between Maslow's hierarchy of needs and mental illness, explaining how unmet needs can spiral into deeper psychological issues.
Narcissistic abusers, often driven by their own unfulfilled needs, exploit others, particularly seeking love and belonging. This creates a toxic cycle where victims may become codependent, desperately searching for safety and affection. Yitz emphasizes the importance of addressing childhood wounds to break free from this cycle in adulthood. He introduces his Mind Map Therapy System, a tool designed to help individuals pinpoint and heal these deep-seated emotional scars.
By closing the emotional chapters with past abusers and unresolved conflicts, Yitz believes we can pave the way to a healthier and happier life. If you're grappling with childhood trauma and mental distress, this episode offers practical advice and support to help you on your healing journey.
