Decoding Narcissism with Bowen Family Systems Theory

When it comes to narcissism, there will always be enmeshment. Therefore they attract narcissists to become codependent. Really not having the ability to set boundaries because ultimately they don't really know who they are.
Imagine your family as an intricate web of emotions and interactions. In this episode of the 'Narcissism Recovery Podcast', Yitz Epstein dives into Dr. Murray Bowen's Family Systems Theory to shed light on how narcissism weaves its way through family dynamics. Bowen's theory sees the family as an emotional unit, and Yitz breaks down how concepts like enmeshment, codependency, and the family projection process play out in narcissistic families.
You'll hear how enmeshment leads to blurred boundaries and why codependent individuals often find themselves entangled with narcissists. The episode also explores how parents project their unresolved issues onto their children, creating a cycle of emotional neglect and distance. Yitz offers practical insights and recovery techniques for those affected by these toxic dynamics. Whether you're trying to understand your own family or help someone else, this episode is packed with valuable information to guide you on the path to healing.
