Many people believe that people are targeted because of their weaknesses, because they're gullible, because they are naturally codependent. They need someone who makes them look good, someone who makes them look smart, someone who makes them look like a good parent, someone who makes them look like they have empathy.
Ever wondered why certain people seem to be magnets for narcissistic abusers? In this eye-opening episode of SNAP, licensed professional clinical counselor Mandy Friedman unpacks the common traits shared by survivors of narcissistic abuse. Mandy explores how a history of childhood abuse or growing up in a codependent family system can set the stage for future abusive relationships.
But it’s not just about past trauma—survivors often possess an incredible ability to see the good in others, a desire to help and fix, and an astonishing capacity to endure hardship. These traits, while admirable, can make them prime targets for narcissists. Mandy also touches on the presence of complex PTSD (C-PTSD) among survivors, explaining how multiple traumatic events shape their lives.
If you’ve ever felt trapped in a cycle of abusive relationships or are trying to understand a loved one who has, this episode offers crucial insights. Mandy’s empathetic approach and expert advice provide a roadmap for reclaiming your empathic nature and protecting it from future harm. Tune in to discover how you can transform these vulnerabilities into strengths and start your journey toward healing.
