Unmasking Narcissists: The Fantasy World They Create
The narcissist is making up their world. They play on their victim's fantasies, they study what their victims are looking for in a lover, in a partner, in a friend, in a boss, you name it- and then they love bomb them by tapping into their imagination and their fantasy and hijacking their world.
Ever felt like you were living in someone else's dream? In this episode of the 'Narcissism Recovery Podcast', Yitz Epstein takes you on a deep dive into the fabricated worlds narcissistic abusers create. These abusers live in a self-made fantasy, a defense mechanism to shield themselves from inner shame and childhood wounds. They pull their victims into this illusion with promises of love and affection, only to use them as emotional supplies.
Yitz explains how these manipulative tactics—like love bombing, gaslighting, and silent treatment—trap victims in a false reality. But don't worry, he also offers practical advice on breaking free from these toxic relationships. One standout method he discusses is mind map therapy, a tool for identifying and healing emotional wounds. Whether you're dealing with narcissistic abuse yourself or trying to support someone who is, this episode is packed with valuable insights and actionable tips.
