Unlock U with Dr. Shannan Crawford

In this revealing episode of Unlock U with Dr. Shannan Crawford, we dive deep into the often‐hidden dynamics of narcissistic grooming—from a psychoanalytic lens—and uncover how early relationship templates can leave us especially vulnerable. You'll learn how to spot the red flags, understand the unconscious roots, and put practical safeguards in place. What Is Narcissistic Grooming? Definition: A gradual process by which someone with narcissistic traits gains your trust, isolates you, and then exploits your emotions and boundaries for their own validation and control. Often including intense amounts of verbal praise "Idealizing you", in which they give you signifiant amounts of attention, time, gifts, acts of service, and praise that, many people have described as, "intoxicating." Some have described that "it almost felt like he adored me so much and so suddenly that it was overwhelming. It was so flattering that I ignored all red flags because the life he described we would have was exhilarating! He sent huge flower arrangements and flashy expensive gifts to me at work so my coworkers could see it. He messaged me multiple times a day with the most amazing complements and telling me everything I always wanted to hear. He came into my life, so strong and so fast... he literally came out of nowhere and now, boom, this amazing man is telling me he wants to marry me and take me around the world and I would never need to work again because he wants to spoil me! I was so enraptured that I didn't notice that his current life didn't match up to the fantasies he was creating in my mind of how our life would be..." Another woman says, "He convinced me that he loved me so much that he couldn't be without me... I didn't notice that he was starting to isolate me... I had to give up friends and family who did not fully "support" our relationship. I was so overwhelmed by the intensity of his attention and praise, that I started to subtly build my life around him... eventually I lost my other relationships... By the time he discarded me, I was COMPLETELY alone."  Can you resonate?  Psychoanalytic Perspective: Splitting & Idealization/Devaluation: Narcissists first “idealize” you as perfect, then “devalue” you once they feel threatened. Projective Identification: They project their own unacceptable feelings onto you, making you feel responsible for their emotions. Object Relations Roots: Early caregivers who were inconsistent or overly enmeshed can leave you craving approval and slow to see manipulation. Why Some of Us Are More Susceptible Drawing on the Restoring‑Self‑Cohesion (RSC) model, Dr. Crawford explains how unconscious templates from childhood shape our adult relationships: Caretaker Role: You learned to put others' emotional needs first to feel safe or worthy. People‑Pleaser Template: Seeking external validation became your primary way to soothe childhood anxieties. Rescuer Script: You believe “fixing” others proves your value—making you an easy target for someone who preys on empathy. Unconscious Sabotage Loops: Old patterns pull you back into dynamics where your boundaries blur and your self‑worth hinges on pleasing someone else. Practical Safeguards to Protect Yourself Strengthen Your Boundaries Practice saying “no” and notice your discomfort. Use “I” statements to express needs: “I feel… when you…” Build an Early‑Warning System Keep a journal of interactions that feel off—look for patterns of praise turning into blame. Share concerns with a trusted friend or therapist to get an outside perspective. Cultivate Healthy “Mirror” Relationships Surround yourself with people who reflect empathy, consistency, and genuine care. Schedule regular check‑ins with your support circle. Deepen Self‑Awareness with RSC Tools Identify your primary relationship template and notice when you slip into old roles. Use grounding rituals (breathwork, journaling, somatic check‑ins) to stay connected to your own needs. Build Community Be honest with your friends and family. Try not to sugar coat the relationship. A healthy relationship can withstand reality testing. When you're early on in a relationship, you're infatuated which means you're literally not thinking clearly. So build healthy relationships with those who can see clearly and have permission to speak into your life!   Seek Professional Partnership Consider one‑on‑one RSC coaching to map unconscious blocks and restore internal alignment.

Guys, I cannot wait to catch up with you! This podcast feels like sitting down together for coffee and just chatting about life, dreams, and all the things happening with Crawford Clinics and my world. Let's be real—life can feel like it's full of waiting. Waiting for a relationship, a degree, a promotion, or even that next vacation. I get it because I'm a dreamer too. Like, binder-full-of-dreams kind of dreamer (and yes, it has tabs!). But here's the thing: dreaming is the easy part. The waiting? The pruning? The maturing? Oh man, that's where the growth really happens. In this episode, I'm opening up about how those seasons of waiting can shape you—and how you can adopt a “growth mindset” that says, I can do that. It's a mindset passed down from my family, starting with my grandpa, who faced so many obstacles but always believed in pushing past limitations. I'll also share a fun update about our brand-new Crawford Clinics location in Southlake, Texas! If you're in the area, come to our Open House on February 1st from 2–4 PM. We'd love to meet you, show you around, and hear your ideas on how we can serve you better. Let's dream big, push through the hard stuff, and live intentionally together. Love you, friends!

Hey friends! If you missed the last episode, I recommend checking it out first—it sets the stage for this one. We're diving into the sneaky lies shame plants in our lives—like "I'm too much" or "I'll be rejected if people really see me." These beliefs often show up in perfectionism, people-pleasing, or even burnout. Take Andrew, for example (name changed). He seemed happy and successful, but beneath it all, unresolved shame and unmet needs were creating resentment, anxiety, and disconnection. Sound familiar? Here's the good news: you're not stuck! By rejecting shame and embracing radical self-acceptance, you can realign your inner world and reconnect with your true self. When your spirit leads, creativity, peace, and purpose follow. Let's explore how to unearth the parts of us we've hidden, invite healing, and live with freedom. Curious? Watch now!

Hey friends, In this Unlock U episode, we're diving into the foundation of who we are—our very first core belief. Life gets messy, doesn't it? Between the ups and downs of parenting, work, mindset struggles, and just trying to keep it all together, it can feel like chaos. But when we step back and see the bigger picture—God's story unfolding in and through us—suddenly, it all starts to make sense. You're not just a collection of thoughts, emotions, and to-do lists. You're a spirit being, uniquely designed in God's image. When you're in alignment—body under soul, soul under spirit, and spirit under the Holy Spirit—you can experience peace, clarity, and freedom. But let's be honest: misalignment? That feels like a pinched nerve messing with everything. We'll unpack how even old, sneaky beliefs planted when we were little can hold us back and how to realign with who God says you are. You're made for awe and wonder, and it's time to live fully in that truth! If this speaks to your heart, don't go it alone. At Crawford Clinics, we're here to walk with you, helping you heal, grow, and live whole. Visit us at Crawford Clinics—we'd love to support you on your journey!
