Narcissistic Abuse: Healing, Navigating, and Ending the Drama
Understanding and navigating complex interpersonal dynamics is essential for building healthy relationships. In environments characterized by narcissistic abuse, with one or two narcissistic parents, children are denied the emotional safety needed to develop an independent identity. Instead, they learn to survive the abuse by stepping into predefined roles that serve the narcissist's needs. To define narcissism and discover how to navigate relationships involving narcissistic personality disorder, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has forty years of experience in public and private practice, Dr. Karyl McBride. Dr. McBride has focused on private research regarding parental narcissism, and the debilitating effects of narcissism in relationships. She describes the 5-step recovery process from her book, "Will the Drama Ever End? Untangling and Healing from the Harmful Effects of Parental Narcissism" and shares stories of the family drama experienced by clients on the road to recovery. Like what you're hearing?
