Episode notes
Slow Erosion By Power Struggles
- Narcissists erode you slowly through confusion, blame-shifting, and rewriting reality.
- Recognizing the power struggle stops self-doubt and apologizing for things you didn't do.
Leave If You Can
- Get away from a narcissist when possible because you cannot fix their core patterns.
- Treat extrication as the objective rather than trying to teach or change them.
Giving In Feeds Control
- Refuse to 'buy peace' by giving in to demands; submission fuels more control.
- Keep boundaries instead of handing over money or concessions to stop escalation.
