Ever wondered what it takes to silence that nagging inner critic? In this compelling episode of 'Retrieving Sanity', host Keegan Read sits down with Emma Lyons, a specialist in trauma decoding and intuitive energy healing. Emma unravels the concept of the 'inner narcissist', explaining how it manifests as a voice of shame and self-doubt, stemming from dysfunctional family dynamics.
She shares her personal journey of being the scapegoat in her family, revealing how this role shaped her understanding of the inner critic not as a protective force, but as a narcissistic parasite. Emma's candid insights challenge conventional wisdom, urging listeners to reconsider how they perceive and deal with their inner critic. Instead of nurturing it with love and understanding, she advocates for a bold approach—identifying and evicting this internal narcissist to reclaim one's power.
Her unique BREAK method offers practical steps to combat shame, encouraging individuals to 'break the trance', 'refuse to engage', 'expose the lie', 'anchor in truth', and 'kick it out'. This episode is not just about identifying problems; it's about taking actionable steps towards a life free from the shackles of shame. Whether you've battled addiction or are simply looking to improve your mental health, Emma's message is clear: shame is toxic and unnecessary.
So, are you ready to break up with your inner narcissist and embrace your true self? Tune in for an enlightening conversation that promises to shift your perspective on self-criticism and personal growth.
