Ross Rosenberg, a master psychotherapist and author, dives into the tricky world of narcissistic relationships in this episode of The Self-Love Recovery Podcast. He uses the term 'bait and switch' to describe how narcissists present an idealised version of themselves to lure in their partners, only to reveal their true, often harmful, nature once the relationship is established.
Drawing parallels to a manipulative car salesman, Ross explains how narcissists use charm and deceit to entrap their victims, making them believe they are getting a fantastic deal. He discusses different types of pathological narcissists, including those with narcissistic, borderline, and antisocial personality disorders, and how each type employs the bait-and-switch tactic differently. Ross also highlights the vulnerabilities of those with self-love deficit disorder (SLDD), making them prime targets for such manipulation.
By understanding these dynamics, Ross believes that individuals can begin to break free from these toxic relationships and move towards self-love and healing. If you've ever felt trapped in a relationship that started like a dream but turned into a nightmare, this episode offers crucial insights and practical advice to help you recognise and escape the bait-and-switch trap.
