When you treat yourself well and not like you're worthless, then you have the opportunity and the capability of treating others with compassion, love and empathy and respect, which will lead to happiness, fulfillment and, ultimately, connections that are fulfilling and enjoyable.
Have you ever found yourself being your own worst enemy? In this episode of the 'Narcissism Recovery Podcast', Yitz Epstein tackles the often overlooked issue of self-abuse. He explains how those who have endured narcissistic abuse can internalize the negative treatment, leading to a harsh inner critic that berates and mistreats them from within. This self-abuse often stems from unresolved childhood trauma, such as rejection or neglect, which fosters feelings of worthlessness and helplessness.
Yitz delves into how this manifests as negative self-talk, self-neglect, and other harmful behaviors. While these actions might offer a fleeting sense of control, they ultimately trap individuals in a cycle of abuse that hinders their ability to form healthy relationships. But there's hope. Yitz highlights the importance of recognizing and addressing this inner critic by healing the wounded inner child. He offers practical techniques for shifting from self-abuse to self-care, emphasizing the transformative power of self-compassion.
By learning to treat oneself with kindness and respect, listeners can break free from this destructive cycle and start building fulfilling connections with others. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to reclaim their self-worth and move towards a life of emotional well-being.
