Balancing Emotions: Healing from Narcissistic Abuse
“Being emotionally cut off, as I see it, is just as dangerous as not getting the signal from your body as, so to speak. If you were hungry, you would miss the signal to eat and, as a result, you wouldn't eat, and the result would be death.”
Imagine growing up in a world where your emotions are seen as threats rather than natural responses. In this episode of the 'Narcissism Recovery Podcast', Yitz Epstein sheds light on the critical difference between being emotionally regulated and emotionally cutoff. When children are raised by emotionally immature or narcissistic parents, they often learn to suppress their feelings to avoid conflict or abuse. This emotional shutdown can be as harmful as ignoring your body's hunger signals.
Yitz explains how narcissistic abusers, who are completely detached from their emotions, become disconnected from reality and often exhibit emotional violence. He also discusses the signs of emotional cutoff and offers practical steps to reconnect with your emotions for true healing. Whether you're dealing with unresolved feelings from childhood or trying to break free from a toxic relationship, this episode provides valuable insights and actionable advice.
