The goal is to become whole, authentic and entirely integrated. This requires accepting the fragmented parts of ourselves that we often avoid. Only once this is the case can we truly be whole, healthy, and integrated and allow ourselves to attract relationships with people who are whole themselves, creating synergy and healthy interconnection.
Ever wondered why narcissistic abusers can seem like entirely different people from one moment to the next? In this episode of the 'Narcissism Recovery Podcast', Yitz Epstein dives into the concept of the 'split self' and how it plays a pivotal role in narcissistic behavior. Narcissism isn't just a personality quirk; it's a complex disorder that often leaves victims feeling bewildered and hurt.
Yitz breaks down how the split self develops, typically due to a lack of emotional support and safety during childhood. This fragmentation forces parts of the self into the subconscious, only to resurface as triggers later in life. Yitz explains that narcissistic abusers can switch between these fragmented selves depending on the situation, making them unpredictable and confusing to those around them. Imagine dealing with someone who can flip personalities at the drop of a hat—it's exhausting and emotionally draining.
But understanding this mechanism is the first step toward healing. Yitz emphasizes the importance of integrating these shattered pieces to become whole and authentic. This journey isn't just about surviving; it's about thriving and attracting healthier relationships. The episode is a deep dive into the psychology behind narcissism, offering practical advice for those looking to reclaim their sense of self. Yitz's compassionate approach provides a roadmap for healing, focusing on self-acceptance and unconditional love.
If you're struggling with the aftermath of a relationship marred by narcissistic abuse, this episode offers valuable insights and actionable steps to help you on your path to recovery.
