In this enlightening episode, Dr. Kibby and Jacqueline delve into the complex topic of growing up with narcissistic parents and the lasting impact on one's self-worth and relationships. Narcissistic parenting often leaves children feeling emotionally deprived, unseen, and struggling with low self-esteem. These challenges can manifest in adulthood as difficulties in forming healthy attachments and perpetuating cycles of emotionally unavailable relationships.
The hosts discuss the importance of recognizing the traits of narcissistic parents, which include lack of empathy, grandiosity, criticism, control, and manipulation. They emphasize the spectrum of narcissism, acknowledging that all parents may display some narcissistic traits, but truly narcissistic parents fail to prioritize their children's needs consistently.
