942: Ken Adams | The Confusing Dynamics of Covert Incest
The Jordan Harbinger Show
Factors contributing to covert incest and its long-term effects on sensitive children
Covert incest can be influenced by factors such as a parent's personality disorder, enmeshed background, mental illness, or addiction in the family. A dysfunctional marital or relational bond between parents is also a common factor, with one parent being checked out while the other transfers their neediness, anxiety, and depression to the sensitive child. Sensitive children are more likely to absorb their mothers' worries and pain, leading to psychosomatic issues and school phobia. As adults, these children may struggle to separate from their parents, feeling tethered and making compromises to meet their parents' needs without feeling like they have a choice.
