Developing a sense of self is never too late.
Ever wondered how the scars of childhood shape our adult selves? In this episode of the 'Narcissism Recovery Podcast', Yitz Epstein dives into the deep connections between childhood wounds and the development of personality disorders. Yitz explains that when a child's core self is injured, they often develop maladaptive personalities as a shield against further harm. This protective mechanism, while essential for survival, can lead to disorders like narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and borderline personality disorder (BPD) in adulthood.
Yitz paints a vivid picture of how these disorders are built around specific wounds: NPD often stems from deep-seated shame, while BPD is frequently rooted in fears of abandonment. These defenses, though initially helpful, can result in a fractured sense of self and a life filled with frustration, rage, and feelings of being misunderstood or targeted by others. But there's hope. Yitz emphasizes that healing is possible through self-reflection, acceptance of past traumas, and practicing self-compassion.
By acknowledging and embracing our childhood injuries, we can start to rebuild our true selves. He also suggests creating safe spaces by stepping away from triggering environments as a crucial step in this journey. Yitz's compassionate approach offers a lifeline to those feeling trapped by their past. Whether you're grappling with your own personality disorder or trying to understand a loved one, this episode provides valuable insights and practical advice for moving towards healing and wholeness.
