So true!!! Im in my second semester of graduate school for clinical mental health counseling. I was raised by a narcissistic mother and attracted narcissistic women. After she died i went into a deeeep dive into attachment theory. I even did my capstone project on it. I know provide myself with the love i didn't get in childhood. My current wife had to deal with the pendulum becoming even. Im so glad i learned this stuff because i was truly unhappy in life before this change.
I subscribed to this channel after going to marriage counseling by myself for months, and have watched most videos, but this one and trauma bonding really talked 100% of my relationship and the reality. So thanks to this guys, because facing the truth is hard and being honest with yourself, but it’s really helpful that I can relate to based on the experiences. My wife is a covert narcissist and I am getting out of the relationship before it consumes me and my daughters.
First of all I want to say I absolutely love listening to you guys, thank you 😃 my crazy little brain absorbs pretty much everything you're saying. So I got out of a relationship about 6 months ago it was almost a 7-year relationship and my partner was a people pleaser like myself but also a narcissist so how does that work?
My past is that I escaped a narcissist relationship years a go. Now I met someone who I can’t tell if it’s love bombing like narcissists do or is this person actually nice and a severe people pleaser? I used to be a severe people pleaser and am no longer. I totally realize my self worth. I’m running from this person but should I ? Am I dealing with a people pleaser or a narcissist?
