Introduction

Yitz Epstein is a narcissistic abuse life coach. He talks about the devastating effects of abandonment, betrayal, and rejection. Being rejected is enough of a fear to keep victims in an abusive relationship for decades or even their entire lifetime. Victims will oftentimes break their own heart and self-destruct, just to be accepted. This leads to a self-fulfilling prophecy where victims end up doing the very thing that pushes partners away.
