In this episode of Recovery for the Narcissist, Dr. Eric Perry explores the quiet yet deeply damaging experience of emotional invalidation in narcissistic relationships. This episode examines how subtle forms of dismissal, deflection, and emotional withdrawal can slowly erode a partner's sense of self—leaving them feeling confused, unseen, and emotionally alone.Dr. Perry unpacks the psychological mechanics of emotional invalidation, highlighting how it often masquerades as logic, reason, or even care. He explains why individuals with narcissistic tendencies struggle to tolerate emotional vulnerability—and how their attempts to manage discomfort often result in silencing the people closest to them.Listeners will learn about: What emotional invalidation looks like in real-life dynamics Why narcissistic individuals often use invalidation—consciously or unconsciously The difference between healthy disagreement and emotional dismissal How chronic invalidation distorts emotional reality and damages trust Practical ways to identify invalidation and begin rebuilding emotional safetyDr. Perry offers clear and compassionate insight for both those who have experienced emotional invalidation and those who may be unintentionally causing it. Whether you've found yourself walking on eggshells or noticing a growing emotional distance in your relationship, this episode provides language, clarity, and hope.Tune in to discover how emotional validation—simple acts of presence, witnessing, and non-defensive listening—can transform a relationship from emotionally unsafe to emotionally connected. Healing begins not with control or correction, but with the courage to truly hear and be heard.Connect with Dr. Perry: https://drericperry.comOwn Your Stuff Online Coaching Group: https://drericperry.com/ownyourstuffEmpathy Awakening Workshop: https://drericperry.com/empathyawakeningDisclaimer: The content contained in this podcast is for general information only and is not intended to be a substitute for professional advice, assessment, diagnosis, or treatment.

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 //
Send us a textWhat happens when forgiveness becomes the most radical act of self-healing? Angela Meyer returns with Season 4 of The Undetected Narcissist podcast, offering a revolutionary approach to recovering from narcissistic abuse through compassion rather than continued anger.After nearly concluding the series, Angela was profoundly moved by listeners who found her unique perspective transformative when other resources kept them trapped in resentment. One gentleman's story particularly resonated—after following another narcissism expert for years, he was disturbed when they rejected the concept of "forgiving the unforgivable." Through prayer, he discovered Angela's work, calling it "the answer to my prayers." This validation confirmed the critical need for her compassion-focused approach to continue.This season delivers 25 comprehensive topics designed to support your healing journey, including exploring codependency, breaking trauma bonds, developing sovereign boundaries, healing from generational trauma, and finding forgiveness for the unforgivable. Each episode integrates practical tools: metaphor stories that clarify complex concepts, journaling prompts for self-discovery, quick meditations, grounding techniques for anxiety, affirmations to rebuild self-compassion, and strategies to reclaim your personal power.As a mental health professional, trauma-informed human consciousness guide, and empowerment strategist who has personally walked this healing path, Angela speaks from authentic experience when she says true recovery cannot happen while remaining stuck in hatred and fear. Whether you're just beginning to recognize narcissistic patterns or working to rebuild after a toxic relationship, her guidance offers a path toward genuine peace rather than perpetual victimhood.Subscribe now to embark on this transformative journey toward self-empowerment, self-realization, and becoming whole again.

Send us a textWhen Debbie accepted messages from a man who found her through a tagged Instagram post, she couldn't have predicted the 18-month nightmare that would follow. Her story reveals how narcissistic abuse escalates from subtle control tactics to full-blown emotional and physical violence.The warning signs appeared immediately – aggressive physical behavior on their first meeting, possessive comments, and attempts to control her movements – but, like many victims, Debbie dismissed them hoping things would improve. Instead, her partner isolated her from friends, controlled her clothing, monitored her whereabouts, and subjected her to relentless accusations of infidelity while he was the one being unfaithful. The physical abuse escalated too.What makes this episode particularly powerful is Debbie's candid reflection on her healing journey. After finding the courage to publicly share her story, seven other women came forward with similar experiences with the same man. Her crucial advice to listeners: don't ignore the first red flags, because abusive behavior only escalates with time.Have you noticed controlling behaviors in your relationships? What red flags have you overlooked hoping things would improve?

In this part two conversation, Renee Swanson and Jerry Wise delve into the complexities of covert narcissism, exploring the impact of guilt in relationships with narcissistic individuals. They discuss the importance of self-focus and reframing one's internal environment to foster healing and personal growth. The dialogue emphasizes that it is never too late to reclaim oneself and that closure comes from within, not from external validation. Takeaways Guilt often stems from family dynamics, especially with narcissistic parents. It's crucial to distinguish between true guilt and family guilt. Reclaiming oneself is possible at any age. The closure we seek comes from within, not from others. Self-focus is essential for healing from narcissistic relationships. Understanding the systems dynamics can help in recognizing unhealthy patterns. It's important to accept where you are in your healing journey. You don't need the approval of dysfunctional family members to change. Reframing our thoughts can create a healthier internal environment. Humor can be a coping mechanism for dealing with narcissistic abuse.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Debi sits down with Dr. Anthony Mazzella, a psychoanalyst and psychotherapist, to break down the complexities of toxic narcissistic relationships. From love bombing and devaluation to trauma bonding and the psychology behind both the narcissist and their partner, this conversation is filled with eye-opening insights. If you've ever wondered why you feel stuck in a toxic relationship, or how to break free from unhealthy patterns, this episode is a must-listen. Key Topics Covered What is a narcissist? Understanding the key traits of narcissism and how they manifest in relationships. The cycle of narcissistic relationships: From idealization to devaluation, how the pattern keeps people trapped. Is love bombing intentional? The surprising truth about why narcissists appear so invested in the beginning. The ‘Shared Fantasy' concept: Why both partners play a role in the toxic dynamic. The making of a narcissist: How early childhood experiences shape narcissistic tendencies. Why some people are drawn to narcissists: Exploring the unmet emotional needs that make individuals vulnerable to these relationships. Grandiose vs. Vulnerable Narcissists: Understanding the two primary types and how they manipulate relationships differently. Breaking the cycle: Steps to take if you're in a relationship with a narcissist and want to heal. Can narcissists change? The truth about transformation and what it takes to create lasting change. Key Takeaways Not all narcissists intentionally manipulate—many are unaware of their own behaviors. The attraction to narcissists is often rooted in unresolved emotional wounds. Narcissists seek "supply" (validation) in different ways, depending on their type. More effort won't change a narcissist's behavior—understanding the root cause is key. Setting boundaries and shifting the dynamic can create positive change, but only if the narcissist is willing. Awareness is the first step toward healing—both for narcissists and their partners.

Have you ever stopped to ask yourself, are they really a narcissist? The complexities of narcissistic relationships can be overwhelming, leaving you questioning your own sanity. However, it's crucial to understand that the word "narcissist" is merely a label, not a definition of your worth. The spectrum of narcissism is vast, with varying behaviors and traits that can make it challenging to pinpoint. Remember, no true narcissist would ever question their own narcissistic tendencies. If you find yourself pondering this, it's a sign that you're not the problem. Instead, focus on your healing journey, as the path to recovery is not an easy one. Seek support, explore your emotions, and reclaim your voice. Your well-being is paramount, and with the right guidance, you can break free from the cycle of narcissistic abuse. 0:00 Introduction and Podcast Rebrand 1:14 Upcoming Episodes and Guest Interviews 2:48 Identifying Narcissists and the Narcissism Spectrum 4:44 Impact of Narcissistic Relationships on Victims 7:41 Physiological and Emotional Effects of Narcissistic Abuse 11:36 The Abuse Cycle and Trauma Bond 13:09 Conclusion and Final Thoughts Quiz link https://m.me/carolinestrawson?ref=podcast Podcast Resources: Join my FREE Facebook group at https://www.facebook.com/groups/thriveafternarcissisticabuse Access my low cost Narcissistic Trauma Recovery Programme https://go.carolinestrawson.com/heal-the-trauma-of-narcissistic-abuse Connect with me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carolinestrawson/ Find me on TikTok!: https://www.tiktok.com/@carolinestrawson My website: https://www.carolinestrawson.com/

I'm bringing back one of my most impactful conversations with psychologist and writer Dr. Kerry Kerr McAvoy about healing from narcissistic relationships. We unpack the challenges of being in a relationship with someone who has narcissistic personality disorder, the profound impact it can have on your emotional and mental well-being, and actionable strategies for self-nurturing after the relationship ends. We also take a closer look at the common phrase “it takes two to tango” and what it means in the context of unhealthy relationships. If you're healing from a toxic relationship or want to gain clarity on what healthy love looks like, listen to this episode again or tune in for the first time. What you'll hear: We explore the phrase “It takes two to tango…” Does it, though, when narcissistic abuse or toxicity is involved in a relationship? Is there anything that you can do to help a narcissistic and abusive partner? The short answer is no. Narcissistic Personality is a disorder. It's not a mental health condition. Kerry explains the distinction. Focusing on and nurturing yourself back to life is essential in a relationship that has dimmed you. Learn more about Kerry McAvoy: Kerry Kerr McAvoy is a psychologist and a writer who educates on social media about cultivating healthy relationships, deconstructing narcissism, and understanding various other mental health-related issues.

Narcissistic abuse causes brainfog, mental confusion, emotional insecurity and paralyzing self doubt. Cognitive dissonance implies our minds are at war with two opposite beliefs, ideas or emotions. On one side, we may have been duped and manipulated into believing the narcissist we love is altruistic, and kind, while on the other, we may be feeling manipulated and taken advantage of. Until we can decide on what is true for us, our minds remain deadlocked, and we are prime targets for narcissistic others. In this episode, Lisa A. Romano, Breakthrough Life Coach, award-winning author, and expert in the field of codependency and narcissistic abuse, will learn about the power of ignoring a narcissist. As a mental and emotional wellness expert who has dedicated the past three decades of her life designing mental and emotional training skills to help survivors empower themselves from a controlled, stabilized state of awareness, Lisa explains the hidden power each narcissistic abuse victim has and how to begin mastering this internal process she says a narcissist hopes you never learn to cultivate, appreciate or practice.

Tony Overbay, LMFT, discusses the potentially harmful effects of an article titled “What Is Disarming A Narcissist? 12 Simple Ways To Do So” (https://tinyurl.com/2u8d7sjb) that oversimplifies interactions with narcissists. He distinguishes between Narcissistic Personality Disorder and the broader spectrum of emotional immaturity, emphasizing the small percentage of diagnosed cases of narcissistic personality disorder. Tony critiques the casual and inflated use of the term 'narcissist' and clarifies that real narcissism and emotional immaturity come with significant implications in relationships. He breaks down the common traits of emotional immaturity, such as anger management issues and lack of accountability, and stresses the need to understand one's emotional maturity level. Tony also passionately refutes a technique involving empathy as a means to reach narcissists, highlighting its ineffectiveness and potential harm. This episode provides invaluable insights into protecting oneself from narcissistic abuse, the importance of setting healthy boundaries, and the journey toward emotional growth. 00:00 Introduction to Narcissism and Emotional Immaturity 01:44 Understanding Emotional Immaturity 05:49 The Spectrum of Emotional Maturity 06:55 A Personal Anecdote on Emotional Maturity 11:07 Exploring Empathy and Narcissism 15:45 Critique of Simplistic Solutions for Narcissism 18:52 The Complexity of Narcissistic Relationships 22:55 Ineffective Communication Strategies with Narcissists 25:42 Understanding Narcissistic Supply 27:03 Disarming a Narcissist: Tips and Challenges 29:39 The Complexity of Empathy with Narcissists 33:57 The Path to Differentiation and Self-Care 46:54 Concluding Thoughts on Narcissism If you are interested in joining Tony's private Facebook group for women in narcissistic or emotionally immature relationships of any type, please reach out to him at contact@tonyoverbay.com or through the form on the website, HTTP://www.tonyoverbay.com If you are a man interested in joining Tony's "Emotional Architects" group to learn how to better navigate your relationship with a narcissistic or emotionally immature partner or learn how to become more emotionally mature yourself, please reach out to Tony at contact@tonyoverbay.com or through the form on the website, HTTP:www.tonyoverbay.com
