Adult relationships are not meant to give you the mother love and the father love the unconditional acceptance and love. It is a mature relationship, love, which is different.
Have you ever found yourself bending over backwards to make others happy, only to feel frustrated and unfulfilled? In this episode of the 'Narcissism Recovery Podcast', Yitz Epstein tackles the complex issue of people-pleasing, particularly among abuse victims and narcissists. Yitz explains how the desperate need for love and acceptance, often unmet in childhood, leads many to become people-pleasers.
This behavior is not just a minor quirk; it can set individuals up for a life of frustration and even compulsive love addictions. By breaking down these patterns, Yitz offers a roadmap for understanding and healing these deep-seated needs. He sheds light on how people-pleasing is a survival mechanism for those who didn't receive unconditional love from their caregivers. Narcissists, on the other hand, seek the same validation but through manipulation and control.
Yitz argues that all addictions are attempts to fill this void of love and acceptance from childhood. To truly heal, he suggests that individuals need to recognize and meet their unmet childhood needs. By understanding what unconditional love is and where it comes from, people can start nurturing themselves back to health. Yitz emphasizes that unconditional love is something that flows through us when we are aligned with our true selves.
Connecting to this loving source can help individuals grow and heal in ways they never thought possible. If you're struggling with people-pleasing or know someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice for breaking free from these destructive patterns.
