    Healing After Narcissistic Abuse, What You Don't Know!
    Sep 23 2024
    This episode explores the isolating nature of narcissistic abuse and how that isolation impacts healing. The speaker emphasizes that experiencing discomfort or feeling triggered when encountering a narcissist after healing doesn't mean healing hasn't occurred; rather, it indicates wisdom and the body's learned response to protect itself. The speaker suggests that true healing involves reaching a state of indifference towards the narcissist and highlights the narcissist's likely displeasure at the victim's healing, potentially leading them to try and sabotage it. The episode concludes by encouraging listeners to trust their healing process, avoid self-judgment, and prioritize their well-being by minimizing contact with harmful individuals.

    The BIG LIES Narcissists Want You To Believe
    Sep 23 2024
    On this episode of "The Narcissist Survivor Society," the show examines a situation where a soon-to-be husband asks his fiancée to back up his lie about purchasing their new home during his groom speech. He wants to claim he purchased it himself, despite the fact his fiancée contributed 70% of the down payment, because he comes from a “humble background.” The sources dissect the man's behavior as classic narcissistic tendencies, highlighting his need to project a false image of success and control due to deep-seated insecurity. This need for validation, fueled by his arrogance and lack of empathy, leads him to prioritize his own ego over the feelings of his partner, demonstrating a blatant disregard for the truth and the emotional impact of his lie. This situation exemplifies the narcissist's pattern of prioritizing their carefully curated facade above all else, even if it means demanding their partner participates in their web of dishonesty.
