Breaking Free from Narcissistic Abuse: The Emotional Umbilical Cord
You deserve what you bring into this world. That's why, in my 11th stage self-love recovery program, setting boundaries and finally breaking free from the narcissistic abuse does not happen until the middle of it, because there's nothing worse than getting excited and pumped up and ready to finally find your voice and not have the support systems, the mental health and the self-esteem to pull it off.
Imagine feeling constantly drained, like someone is siphoning off your emotional energy. In this episode of the Self-Love Recovery Podcast, Ross Rosenberg uses the metaphor of an 'emotional umbilical cord' to illustrate how pathological narcissists feed off their codependent partners. He explains that these narcissists consume all the love, care, and resources their partners provide, leaving the codependents depleted and struggling to maintain their own well-being.
Ross dives deep into the dynamics of these toxic relationships, shedding light on why codependents often find themselves trapped in a cycle of giving without receiving. He also introduces his self-love recovery program, offering practical advice on setting boundaries and building support systems. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand the seductive nature of narcissists and seeking ways to reclaim their emotional health.
Join Ross on this enlightening journey and take the first step towards self-love and recovery.
