Yitz Epstein, the host of the Narcissism Recovery Podcast, dives into the intriguing topic of 'Context Vs Content'. This episode offers a fresh perspective on how understanding the difference between context and content can play a pivotal role in healing from narcissistic abuse and trauma.

Listeners are guided through the process of shifting their narratives, recognising how past traumas might have been misinterpreted due to immature perspectives. By embracing a more mature and compassionate viewpoint, one can break free from negative loops and find closure. Yitz uses relatable examples like breakups and childhood traumas to illustrate how context changes the perception of these events.
With a mix of empathy and practicality, Yitz encourages listeners to challenge their existing narratives and see their past as a stepping stone to personal evolution. This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling trapped by their past or struggling to find peace with it.
