It's what I know it feels like home, and so all of these things that the narcissist does is my most comfortable, safe place there is, even though you know I'm in the bowels of hell, or whatever you want to describe it as.
Why do some people stay in relationships that are clearly harmful? This episode of 'N.A.R.C. Troopers' with Prajinta Pesqueda tackles this very question. She digs deep into the emotional and psychological reasons that keep victims tethered to their narcissistic or sociopathic partners. It's not as simple as it seems from the outside; there's a labyrinth of shared fantasies, trauma bonds, and psychological manipulation at play.
Prajinta unpacks these layers, shedding light on why leaving isn't just about making a decision—it's about untangling from a complex web of dependency and fear. This episode also touches on the collateral damage inflicted by these toxic relationships and the often-overlooked need for effective therapy for narcissism. By the end, you'll gain a clearer understanding of the immense challenges faced by those trying to break free and the critical steps toward healing and closure.
If you're grappling with similar issues or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and hope.
