Narcissistic, abusive, manipulative, exploitative, parasitic and predatory people are usually grown-ups, they're adults and they're no longer in that stage of development.
Ever felt like you're dealing with a grown adult throwing a toddler's tantrum? In this episode of 'SNAP: Survivors of Narcissistic & Abusive Personalities', licensed counselor Mandy Friedman dives into the emotional rollercoaster of interacting with emotionally underdeveloped individuals. From toddlers to teens and even adults who never quite grew up emotionally, Mandy explains why these interactions can be so triggering for survivors of abuse.
She highlights the frustrating reality that while it's expected for young children and teenagers to display immature behaviors, it's a whole different ballgame when adults do the same. Mandy offers practical advice on how to handle these situations without losing your cool. You'll learn about grounding techniques to manage overwhelming feelings and strategies to identify potential triggers before they spiral out of control.
This episode isn't just about recognizing the problem; it's about equipping yourself with the tools to navigate these tricky interactions. If you've ever found yourself walking on eggshells around someone who acts more like a child than an adult, this episode is for you. Mandy's insights are especially valuable for those recovering from abusive relationships, providing a roadmap for maintaining your emotional balance.
Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of how to protect your empathic nature and keep your sanity intact amidst the chaos.
