Breaking Free from Narcissistic Chains: Understanding Codependency and Loneliness
Because of that fact, there is so much that you should do. Have a therapist that understands codependency and understands the withdrawal symptoms of codependency- mainly loneliness. Have a therapist that can connect the loneliness to the trauma and understand that this is really a reiteration of childhood trauma that you probably have never thought about or faced, because that is the key in getting better.
Ever wondered why some people find it so hard to leave toxic relationships? In this episode of The Self-Love Recovery Podcast, Ross Rosenberg dives deep into the heart of codependency and pathological loneliness. Ross, a seasoned psychotherapist and author, sheds light on how these issues often stem from childhood experiences with narcissistic parents.
He explains that children in such environments develop a pattern of giving to others to feel loved, which often leads them into the arms of narcissists who temporarily fill their emotional void. However, this need for external validation is rooted in trauma and attachment issues, making it incredibly tough to break free. Ross discusses how therapy with a professional who truly understands codependency can be transformative.
By connecting feelings of loneliness to childhood trauma, individuals can begin their journey toward self-love and recovery. If you're grappling with codependency or narcissistic abuse, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice to help you start healing.
