You keep trying to figure them out. You keep defending yourself. You keep hoping they'll change.But the truth is…
Have you ever wondered why you keep getting pulled back into the same toxic cycle, even after you know they're manipulating you?In this deep dive, we break down the exact five tactics narcissists use to keep you hooked:⚡️ Trauma bonding⚡️ Manipulation & devaluation⚡️ Projection & victimization⚡️ Equalizing your humanity against their abuse⚡️ Blackmail & character assassinationMore importantly, we connect the dots back to your childhood wounds — the real reason you're attracted to them in the first place.If you're tired of fighting for love that was never yours to win, this is the truth you need to hear.
If you've ever found yourself stuck in a toxic cycle—chasing someone who keeps pulling away, getting angry, then blaming yourself—this video will hit you deep.Kenny Weiss walks through a powerful real-life coaching conversation that exposes the hidden emotional addiction behind our patterns with emotionally unavailable partners.You'll discover:
Are you tired of feeling like no one understands you? Do your conversations always turn into arguments over the facts instead of connection? In this video, Kenny Weiss reveals the real reason people don't listen—because we're all communicating facts instead of feelings.You'll discover:✅ Why we argue over “what was said” instead of “how we feel”✅ A powerful trick using eye contact to create deep emotional connection✅ The #1 skill missing in relationships, work, and even text conversations✅ How to mirror emotions (not facts) to feel truly heardThis isn't just about communication. It's about healing your relationships from the inside out. If you want to stop being misunderstood and start feeling seen, this is your blueprint.
But if you want deeper relationships, try this:
My mom was an alcoholic.Out of four kids, only I became one too.That's how trauma works—it affects each of us differently.But here's the truth no one talks about:Healing isn't about blaming the past.It's about owning your response to it now.You can break the cycle.You can rewrite the story.You just have to be brave enough to face it.
When we overprotect kids from pain, we don't raise safer kids—we raise emotionally unprepared adults.This video dives deep into why emotional regulation must start young…Why narcissists are created, not born…And why the rise in emotional fragility (safe zones, pronoun panic, etc.) points to a culture that fears discomfort more than dysfunction.If you want to break the cycle, start here.Because real growth comes from scraped knees—not safe spaces.#Empaths #KennyWeiss #EmotionalMastery #Healing #Love #Trauma #Relationships #narcissist #marriage #divorce #Stress #Fear #Anxiety #Procrastination #Codependency #denial #Forgiveness #guilt #loneliness #selfsabotaging #MentalHealthAwareness
But it was just my trauma talking — my way of surviving a childhood that didn't feel safe.I wasn't “gifted”… I was hurting. I confused losing myself for love.What I thought was kindness… was codependence.This video is going to challenge everything you've been told about being an empath.But if you're brave enough to listen, it might just set you free.Let's heal the root. Not the label.
You've been told that being an empath is a gift.But what if that “gift” is actually unresolved trauma and shame—disguised as kindness?In this video, I pull back the curtain on the truth most experts avoid:
We've been told being an empath is a superpower.But what if it's actually a sign of severe dysfunction?In this video, I break down the real difference between empathy and being an empath—and why the experts aren't telling you the whole truth.Empaths don't just feel other people's emotions—they become them.That's not sensitivity. That's a loss of self.It's not emotional mastery. It's codependency.Here's what I had to learn the hard way:
Think addiction is only about alcohol, drugs, or gambling? Think again.In this powerful video, Kenny Weiss breaks down how our society has normalized addictions—work, fitness, pets, even parenting—and how these seemingly "healthy" obsessions can be signs of falsely empowered codependency.While narcissists are often disconnected from reality and unaware of their dysfunction, falsely empowered codependents look just like narcissists—but there's one major difference: they're aware of the shame and pain underneath.These are the high-achievers—the CEOs, lawyers, influencers—who are silently struggling.This video will help you recognize:✅ The core difference between narcissism and false empowerment✅ Why so many successful people are unknowingly addicted✅ How avoiding intimacy shows up in modern-day "achievements"✅ Why addiction is the coping mechanism of those still chasing love they never receivedThis is emotional mastery at its core.
Was actually something else?In this eye-opening video, I break down the real reason so many high achievers — CEOs, influencers, lawyers, even therapists — get mislabeled as narcissists. The truth? Most of them are actually falsely empowered codependents.They're not arrogant. They're ashamed.They're not invulnerable. They're deeply afraid of intimacy.And they're not narcissists — they're wounded children in adult bodies.You'll learn:✅ The two types of codependents and why 95% of people miss this✅ How to spot the subtle difference between narcissism and false empowerment✅ Why your need to “do it all alone” might be the trauma talking✅ And how to finally break free from this patternIf you've ever felt confused by someone's behavior (or your own), this video will radically shift how you see emotional health, healing, and relationships.
Ever wondered why you keep falling for the wrong person? Why the butterflies in your stomach always seem to lead to heartbreak?Here's the truth:You're not broken. You've just misunderstood your own emotions.In this video, I walk you through groundbreaking research from neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett—and how your childhood, trauma, and worst day cycle are writing the emotional script of your life without you even knowing it.You'll learn:Why we confuse emotional triggers with loveHow your brain predicts emotions based on past painWhy both narcissists and victims are playing out the same shame-based patternHow to finally escape the Worst Day Cycle
Are you labeling someone a narcissist... when they might actually be a falsely empowered codependent?In this episode of the Heal the Hurt Podcast, we dive deep into one of the most common—and most dangerous—misunderstandings in emotional healing and relationship dynamics. Many people confuse certain types of codependency with narcissism, and that confusion can destroy relationships that are actually salvageable.Kenny Weiss explains:
If you've ever found yourself stuck in a toxic cycle—chasing someone who keeps pulling away, getting angry, then blaming yourself—this video will hit you deep.Kenny Weiss walks through a powerful real-life coaching conversation that exposes the hidden emotional addiction behind our patterns with emotionally unavailable partners.You'll discover:
For the longest time, I told myself they were just being disrespectful.That ignoring me was their way of being petty.But eventually, the truth hit me:They were only reflecting back what I unknowingly taught them.I didn't know how to deal with conflict—so I used sarcasm. Snarky jabs. Silence.I thought I was defending myself… but I was modeling passive aggression.Now I see:This child who won't speak to me learned that silence… from me.This isn't about blame.This is about owning our part in the story—so we can rewrite the ending.Healing starts when we stop pointing fingers… and start looking in the mirror.
It's not about the message.It's about your story.For me, it goes back to being a kid—waiting on a mother who promised she'd stop drinking… and never did.I learned early that words were cheap.So now, as an adult, I watch actions.Always actions.That's why I have non-negotiables around communication.Not because I'm “too much”…But because my trauma taught me what silence really feels like.And here's what most people miss:You won't stop getting triggered until you know what your needs are.Your morals.Your values.Your negotiables… and your non-negotiables.If you don't know them, you'll keep chasing people who ignore you…and calling it love.
