Shame truly is a poisonous emotion and experience. The longer the secret is kept, the more dangerous it becomes. Secrets are devastating and have devastating long-term emotional and psychological effects on the individual.
Imagine carrying a heavy burden that you can't share with anyone. In this episode of the 'Narcissism Recovery Podcast', Yitz Epstein sheds light on the profound dangers of keeping secrets after experiencing narcissistic abuse. Secrets can create an isolating darkness in the mind, leaving no room for love, connection, or light. Yitz explains how these hidden truths are among the most damaging aspects of abuse, often leading to self-destructive behaviors and even suicidal thoughts.
Yitz delves into how shame thrives in secrecy, growing stronger the longer it's kept hidden. He argues that by bringing these secrets into the open with empathy and compassion, their power can be diminished and healing can begin. The episode emphasizes the crucial role of seeking help from therapists or coaches to work through the shame and guilt that accompany these secrets.
Yitz also touches on how denial plays a role in maintaining these secrets and the connection between secrecy and addiction. Through personal anecdotes and professional insights, he underscores the importance of breaking the silence to find relief and move towards a fulfilling life. If you've ever felt trapped by your own secrets, this episode offers a compassionate guide to overcoming that isolation and finding your way back to the light.
