Relationships, specifically with narcissists, are essentially a fantasy bond. They are almost always out of touch with reality. There really is no relationship because narcissists aren't really capable of having a relationship.
Ever wondered why some relationships feel like a never-ending performance? In this episode of the 'Narcissism Recovery Podcast', Yitz Epstein tackles the elusive concept of the fantasy bond. Unlike genuine connections, these bonds are built on routines and roles, giving an illusion of love but lacking true emotional intimacy. Drawing from Abigail Fagan's book 'The Fantasy Bond', Yitz explains how these relationships can trap individuals in cycles of self-hatred and false security.
He delves into seven actionable steps to break free from these destructive patterns, urging listeners to face reality and embrace authenticity. Dissociation often keeps victims tethered to these illusory bonds, but by turning inward and healing, one can foster genuine, healthy relationships. Tune in to uncover how you can dismantle the fantasy and step into a life grounded in reality.
