Having a talk or a couple of good talks is not evidence that this person is either not actually abusive and you were wrong the whole time, or that they're having a spiritual awakening and coming to terms with the reality of who they are, or that they intend to actually change and get better.
Ever felt uplifted by a heart-to-heart conversation, only to be let down when nothing changes? In this episode of SNAP: Survivors of Narcissistic & Abusive Personalities, licensed counselor Mandy Friedman dives into the misleading nature of 'We Had a Great Talk'. Abusive personalities often use charm and persuasion to create moments of false hope, making it seem like real change is on the horizon. But how can you tell if these talks are genuine or just another manipulation tactic?
Mandy Friedman, with her extensive experience in trauma and abuse recovery, sheds light on why these seemingly positive discussions often don't lead to lasting change. She emphasizes that true transformation requires consistent behavior over time, not just a few good conversations. As she puts it, 'We're talking years of changed behavior to make up for the damage that they've done'. This episode is packed with practical advice for survivors trying to navigate their way through the complexities of abusive relationships.
Friedman offers tips on recognizing abusive behaviors, setting boundaries, and prioritizing self-care. She also discusses the importance of empathy in recovery and how to support loved ones who are on their healing journey. For anyone grappling with the aftermath of an abusive relationship, this episode provides invaluable insights and strategies. Mandy's compassionate approach and deep understanding make this a must-listen for survivors and their supporters alike.
