The Narcissist and the Judgement Part

The Narcissist and the Judgement Part

Ever wondered why judgement plays such a significant role in our lives? In this episode of 'The Narcissistic Abuse & Trauma Recovery Podcast', Caroline Strawson breaks down the concept of judgement through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and parts therapy. She dives into how judgement functions as a protective mechanism, shielding us from our deeper, often wounded, younger selves. But here's the twist – Caroline encourages listeners to flip the script and examine their own judgemental tendencies.

Caroline introduces three essential questions to help you uncover the root of your judgement, whether it's directed at yourself or others, including narcissists. She emphasizes the importance of approaching these feelings with compassion and curiosity rather than criticism. Judgement isn't just a barrier; it's a signal that there's something deeper needing attention and healing. This episode is a blend of professional insight and personal reflection.

Caroline shares her own experiences with judgement, especially in the context of dealing with narcissistic abuse. She underscores that while we can't change others, we have the power to transform ourselves through inner work. As she puts it, 'When wounds are triggered, it's a sign to dive deeper into self-healing'. So, if you're looking to understand why you judge and how to turn that understanding into a healing journey, this episode is for you.

Caroline's blend of empathy and expertise offers a comforting yet enlightening guide through the complexities of judgement and recovery.
