Podcasts about narcissistic parents

When it comes to narcissism, there are physical signs that help you spot narcissistic behavior sooner rather than later. Narcissists often reveal their true nature through their eyes—cold, unfeeling, and devoid of empathy. This chilling stare is a red flag, signaling a lack of emotional connection and a potential for manipulation. According to FBI profilers, such individuals prey on those with high empathy, low self-worth, and a strong desire to please. Codependents, in particular, may overlook these warning signs due to blurred boundaries and a history of emotional neglect.​ If you've experienced cognitive dissonance in a toxic relationship, it's crucial to recognize these signs and prioritize your well-being. Understanding the dynamics of narcissistic abuse can empower you to break free from trauma bonds and embark on a healing journey.​ Take the first step towards self-discovery and recovery. Our codependency quiz can help you identify areas needing attention and guide you towards inner healing. ✨ Take my FREE Codependency Quiz

Leaving a Narcissistic Parent // How to Emotionally Distance from a Narcissistic Parent This episode came from a YouTube listener's question on how to leave a narcissistic relationship — and for me, that brought up one of the hardest experiences I've worked through: leaving a narcissistic parent. In this episode, I share my personal story of growing up with a narcissistic parent and what the emotional process of leaving really looked like — because it wasn't clean, it wasn't quick, and it definitely didn't happen all at once.   These relationships aren't just painful — they're confusing. A narcissistic parent relationship can blur your sense of self so much that you don't even realise how far you've lost your voice until you start to get it back. Here's what I share in this episode: Why leaving a narcissistic parent feels emotionally impossible A personal story from one of the most painful moments of my life — and how my dad's reaction made everything painfully clear How shame, guilt, and emotional manipulation kept me stuck for years Why therapy became the turning point — and what it felt like to hear a professional say, “It's not you.” What rebuilding self-trust actually looked like (and why I couldn't do it alone) If you're in a relationship with a narcissistic parent where everything is always about them, where your feelings are minimized, and you constantly question yourself — please know: You are not too sensitive. You're not broken. And you are not alone. This isn't about blame. It's about choosing your mental health. It's about honoring your truth — even when that means walking away from someone who was supposed to love you. Recommendations from this episode //

The most dangerous people in our lives are not strangers, they are people we know and love. For a child, the most dangerous people are their parents and step-parents, and for adults, the most dangerous people in their lives tend to be their partners. In this eye opening podcast, you will learn about the statistics that suggest that while we teach children about stranger danger, w are neglecting to fully comprehend the totality of the abuse that occurs simply because adults have access to powerless children. This is not to suggest that all parents and all step-parents are abusive; however, statistically speaking, one of the contributing factors to child abuse and neglect tends to be associated with a nonbiological step-parent.  This podcast comes with a trigger warning, because it speaks the truth, a truth that many may not be ready to accept has occurred to them, a truth that a parent may not be ready to face about their choice in a spouse that had access to their children, or it may sting the eye of the one who has neglected and abused a child, or spouse.  The intention of this conversation is to fully acknowledge what is statistically true, so that we can all become more aware and responsible for who has access to our children, in addition to becoming more conscious of the fact that our partners are the most dangerous people in our adult lives. It's not the guy hanging out on the street corner at 3:00 am we need to worry about. It's those we love who may associate love with control, dominance, and power. Once we become entangled with them, we need to be more cognizant of the quality of the relationships we engage in.  If you're codependent, you are at great risk for becoming entangled in toxic relationships dynamics and that is not your fault.  Breakthrough with me here, with the 12 Week Breakthrough Coaching Program.

If you struggle with worrying about what others think, you may be vulnerable to narcissistic manipulation. Codependents are often conditioned to seek external validation, fearing rejection or judgment. Narcissists exploit this by twisting reality, making you question your own experiences, and using your need for approval against you. They may say, "You're too sensitive," or "No one else sees it that way," to gaslight you into doubting yourself. They might also manipulate social perceptions, controlling how others see you through smear campaigns or triangulation.  In this episode, Lisa A. Romano exposes these tactics and teaches you how to detach from the fear of judgment, trust your own reality, and break free from the narcissist's control. If you don't know just upset you can become when others perceive you in a negative way, you might not realize how someone with high narcissistic traits could use that fear against you to keep you stuck!

I'm going on tour! Come see The School of Greatness LIVE in person!Get my new book Make Money Easy here!Most of us unknowingly live under what family therapy expert Jerry Wise calls "the family trance" – a powerful force that shapes our identity without our awareness. After 45 years helping thousands break free from dysfunctional family patterns, Jerry reveals how our adult struggles often stem from inherited emotional programming that creates a "malignant normalcy" within us. Through our conversation, he shares the revolutionary concept of self-differentiation – the courageous process of separating your true self from your family's expectations while remaining emotionally connected. When Jerry states "whatever issues I leave unresolved, who gets to resolve them? My children," I realized this might be the most transformative conversation we've had about breaking generational patterns. His profound insight that "it's never too late to have a happy childhood" offers hope to anyone trapped in cycles of criticism, people-pleasing, or emotional reactivity that originated in their family system.Get Jerry's Free 84-Minute 'Self-Differentiation' TrainingGet more from Jerry on YouTubeIn this episode you will learn:Why criticizing yourself harshly is often your "family self" talking, not your authentic voiceHow to identify if you had narcissistic parents and what that means for your adult relationshipsThe three levels of resistance you'll face when changing family dynamics and how to overcome themWhy trying to change your parents is futile, but changing yourself transforms the entire systemThe difference between setting outer boundaries and the crucial inner boundaries needed for healingHow the "fantasy" of finally getting parental approval keeps many adults emotionally stuckWhy it's never too late to have a happy childhood through self-parenting and inner child workThe three core elements needed for lasting change: self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-differentiationFor more information go to https://www.lewishowes.com/1747For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Gabby Bernstein – greatness.lnk.to/1714SCJason Wilson  – greatness.lnk.to/1725SCMel Robbins – greatness.lnk.to/1710SC Get more from Lewis!

One Tree Hill star Bethany Joy Lenz knows a lot about cults – from personal and professional experience. While she stared in a show about cults, Bethany found herself in the Big House Family church covenant, a bible study group-turned-cult that isolated her from her family and peers. Joining a cult is much easier than you might think, and incredibly smart people join cults often. According to Bethany, cults like the one she joined prey on your desire for community, approval, and deep conversation. They use these desires as tools to isolate. But any narcissist will use the same tools, so it's important to recognize them at work, in family, and in relationships. Hear Bethany's journey to recovery in her faith and relationships, and learn how she redefined her life. 05:06 Craving Approval From Others 07:24 When Community Becomes A Cult 12:57 Isolation and Rebuilding Relationships 18:31 How Narcissists Gain Your Respect 22:13 Us vs. Them Mentality 26:35 Learning How To Apologize 29:33 Relearning Relationships 33:08 Brutal Honesty For more from Joy, follow her at @msbethanyjoylenz or her podcast, Drama Queens, at @dramaqueensoth.

There are millions of adult children of alcoholics and narcissistic parents who have yet to discover the root causes of their toxic relationships, self alienation, and feelings of unworthiness, who feel stuck and unable to move their lives forward. For that reason, it is essential to continue to ponder who we are, why we are the way we are, and in what ways we can best get unstuck and move our lives forward despite a painful past. Lisa A. Romano is one of those thought leaders in the world whose practical wisdom pierces through the many thick layers of decades of denial and mental confusion. In this podcast, you will learn why it is essential to recognize your family history. Much like not knowing your car has a flat, and therefore you never got out of the car to fix it, and remain frustrated for why you can't get to where you want to go, Lisa helps us take an honest and unafraid look at how our pasts as adult children, are like flat tires we don't recognize.  'As Lisa puts it, it's not us, it's our programming. And unless we take the time to gain self knowledge, what we don't acknowledge always keeps us stuck and sadly, we tend to recreate in our adult lives.  Embark on the path to conscious awakening, emotional healing, and transformation with Lisa's Conscious Healing Academy, which includes a 3 tier coaching system that assists with one's awakening, emotional intelligence, and mental and emotional mastery.  12 Week Breakthrough Program (Level One - The Awakening) 8 Week Master Your Reality (Level 2 -- Deliberate Creating) Soul School - (Level Three -- Ascending Ego) To learn more, contact Lisa and her team members here; Contact Website Spotify Award Winning Books  Facebook Support Group

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon talks with Ruthie about being raised by abusive parents, which led her to joining a cult. Born into a family with malignant and covert narcissists, Ruthie was a scapegoat child, excelling academically but isolated and abused. After being cut off financially, Ruthie was groomed by her cousin to join a cult, initially finding structure and community. However, things changed quickly, as Ruthie was isolated into a commune that used gaslighting, emotional abuse, and physical abuse to keep her in line. It's a story of scapegoats, physical abuse, sexual abuse, sexual assault, cults, grooming, gaslighting, being good enough, acceptance, financial abuse, crazy making, PTSD, flying monkeys, smear campaigns, love bombing, isolation, self blame, and breaking free. *** CONTENT WARNING - This episode discusses physical abuse, sexual abuse, and sexual assault. *** If you want to be a guest on our survivor story podcast, please click here or send us an email at narcissistapocalypse@gmail.com To help out our podcast, please fill out our listener survey, click here.

Are highly sensitive people more their environment? In this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, host Elizabeth Cush talks with Phoenix Gould about the profound impact of narcissistic parents on highly sensitive children and adults. “The narcissist demands that we pay attention to them. Our way of survival is to be highly attuned to their needs.” — Phoenix Gould If you're a highly sensitive person (HSP), did you ever wonder how your childhood affected you and your sensitivities? Why does it seem so much easier to tune into others' needs rather than your own? Why do emotions feel so overwhelming—if you can feel them at all? How did your parent's struggles affect you? And, most important, how can you heal those hurts, increase self-awareness and build a loving and trusting relationship with yourself? In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., and a mid-life women's life coach, welcomes Phoenix Gould, a coach and highly sensitive woman who combines bodywork and radical self-love to help clients experience the unconditional love that they did not receive as children. They talk about growing up as highly sensitive children, they share their healing journeys, and they offer hope and inspiration that you, too, can feel your emotions without overwhelm and experience the core of who you truly are.

Host Heather Creekmore and Dr. Tamara Rosier offers invaluable insights into navigating relationships with narcissists and understanding the crucial role of boundaries. Here are three key takeaways:

Chris Wasko recently created Spicy Old Souls™, a system for old souls to understand their character, their passions and purpose. Old souls struggle, So Chris helps them understand why they choose the difficult lessons and what makes them incredible beings. The soul's spiciness holds clues to the healing journey. In addition, she released a children's book specific to old souls. It's not just for children but also the inner child. Chris' own spiritual journey started after she cut off her narcissistic parents. This led her on an unexpected healing journey that eventually opened her up to the spirit world and taking classes on mediumship so that she could learn the language of that world. Chris Wasko Psychic Medium and Spiritual Counselor

Narcissistic Mothers and the Scapegoat-Golden Child Trap  In this episode of the Breakdown to Breakthrough Podcast, we delve into the toxic dynamics often found in families with narcissistic mothers, focusing on the devastating roles of the scapegoat and the golden child. Lisa A. Romano, a leading expert in codependency and narcissistic abuse recovery, breaks down how these roles are created, maintained, and manipulated by narcissistic mothers to uphold their fragile egos and maintain control over the family narrative.
