It's imperative to heal your wounds, identify that this is the case, that these wounds are there. The mind map system, which I work with, is specifically designed to help you identify your wounds.
Have you ever felt suffocated in a relationship, unable to breathe or express yourself? In this episode of the 'Narcissism Recovery Podcast', Yitz Epstein, a seasoned relationship life coach, unpacks the concept of smothering in the context of narcissistic abuse. Smothering isn't just about being overprotected; it's a subtle form of control and manipulation that can deeply wound a person's sense of self. Often, victims don't even realize they're being smothered because the abuse is so insidious.
Yitz dives into the intricacies of this covert form of abuse, explaining how it can lead to unhealthy, codependent relationships and emotional enmeshment. He breaks down the signs to look out for, such as feeling unheard, unseen, and unable to express your true self. These feelings often stem from a partner or parent who dominates and manipulates, stifling the victim's individuality and autonomy. Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, Yitz emphasizes the importance of recognizing and healing from smothering.
He discusses the long-term psychological impacts, including how this form of abuse can hinder personal growth and lead to dysfunctional relationships later in life. The episode offers listeners actionable steps to reclaim their sense of self and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships. Whether you're dealing with a narcissistic partner or trying to understand your past experiences, this episode provides valuable insights and tools for healing.
Yitz's compassionate approach makes complex psychological concepts accessible, offering hope and guidance for those feeling trapped by smothering. Tune in to learn how to identify this subtle form of abuse and take the first steps toward recovery.
