Remember, a narcissist is coming from a place of lack of self-worth and you actually saying, nope, the relationship is over. They can really start to make you feel really, really awful by smearing you, saying things to you, being hurtful to you.
Stepping back into the dating world after a traumatic breakup can feel like navigating a minefield. Caroline Strawson, host of 'The Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Recovery Podcast', dedicates this episode to helping you recognize the subtle yet telling signs of narcissistic behavior in potential partners. Caroline brings her wealth of experience as a trauma therapist to the table, offering practical advice on what to watch out for when meeting someone new. Have you ever heard of 'love bombing'?
It's one of the first red flags Caroline discusses. She explains how narcissists often shower their new partners with excessive affection and attention, only to later reveal their true, manipulative nature. Another key indicator is a lack of empathy – a hallmark of narcissism that can leave you feeling invalidated and confused. Caroline also dives into the concept of gaslighting, where narcissists twist reality to make you doubt your own perceptions.
This episode isn't just about identifying these behaviors; it's about empowering you to trust your instincts and prioritize your well-being. Caroline emphasizes the importance of self-partnering – developing a positive relationship with yourself to avoid falling into toxic patterns. Dating after a breakup doesn't have to be daunting. With Caroline's insights, you'll learn to keep your 'narcissistic radar' sharp and protect yourself from potential harm.
Tune in to understand these red flags better and take steps towards healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
