As children of narcissistic parents, we are left no choice but to survive in an environment of absolute adversity. Therefore, we develop certain defense mechanisms, certain coping mechanisms that, of course, are dysfunctional but help us to survive.
Imagine growing up in a world where love feels conditional and trust is a luxury. In this episode, Danish Bashir, a certified clinical trauma specialist, dives deep into the defense mechanisms that children develop to survive narcissistic abuse from a parent. From using humor to hide their pain to suppressing their true selves through introjection, these coping strategies are a testament to the resilience of young minds.
Danish also covers dissociation, intellectualization, denial, and regression, shedding light on how these mechanisms can impact long-term emotional health. But it's not all bleak—Danish offers practical advice on breaking free from these patterns and starting the journey toward genuine healing. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who has experienced or is currently grappling with the fallout of a narcissistic upbringing.
