You are an abyss that has no end whatsoever
Ever wondered why narcissists can't seem to grasp why their victims aren't begging for another chance? This episode of 'Heal from within after Narcissistic Abuse with Danish' dives into an open letter addressed to narcissists, explaining why their victims have chosen to move on. Danish Bashir, a certified clinical trauma specialist, lays out five compelling reasons in a raw and cathartic manner, offering both survivors and those still healing a sense of closure and understanding.
Danish starts by addressing the narcissist's lack of empathy, emphasising how they ignored their victim's feelings and constantly blamed them for everything. He vividly describes how the narcissist's grandiosity and manipulative behaviour led to emotional devastation, making it clear that the victims have had enough. The second point tackles the narcissist's inability to listen or validate their partner's thoughts and feelings, highlighting their rigid black-and-white thinking.
The third reason is particularly poignant: victims have realised they deserve more than the bare minimum. Danish explains how narcissists offered nothing but inconsistency and unreliability, while the victims gave their all, only to be met with constant disappointment. The fourth reason delves into the emotional unavailability of narcissists, who withheld affection and support deliberately to maintain control. Danish paints a vivid picture of the loneliness and abandonment experienced by the victims.
Finally, Danish discusses how victims have seen through the narcissist's facade. They've broken free from the cognitive dissonance and trauma bonding that kept them hooked. Now, they recognise the narcissist for what they truly are: emotionally empty and unwilling to change. This realisation has empowered them to move on, knowing that any attempt at reconciliation would be futile. This episode is a powerful testament to the strength and resilience of survivors.
If you're looking for validation and understanding on your journey to recovery, this episode is a must-listen. It not only offers insights into the mind of a narcissist but also provides a voice to the pain and struggle of those who have endured their abuse.
