They only pretend to follow God to make other people think, oh, they are so godly. But in reality, they are ungodly when nobody is watching
Have you ever wondered how a narcissist's relationship with God might look? In this episode, Danish Bashir, a seasoned psychologist and trauma therapist, dives deep into the twisted dynamics of narcissists and their spiritual facades. Danish breaks down how narcissists weaponise religion and scriptures to manipulate those around them, all while secretly harbouring disdain for the God they claim to worship.
He explains that narcissists often see God as an extension of their own ego, expecting divine support for their selfish desires. When reality doesn't match their delusional expectations, they begin to resent God, much like they do with people who don't cater to their whims. Danish uses personal anecdotes to illustrate these complex relationships, sharing stories from his own life that highlight the bizarre and often disturbing ways narcissists interact with spirituality.
The episode sheds light on how a narcissist's lack of a true self leads them to create a transactional relationship with God, one that is based on appearances rather than genuine faith. By the end of the episode, you'll have a clearer understanding of why narcissists behave this way and how their spiritual pretence is just another tool in their arsenal of manipulation.
Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion that blends psychology with real-life examples, offering valuable insights for anyone affected by narcissistic abuse.
