About this episode
Today, we will talk about the magnetic relationship between narcissists and codependents. We will dive deep into their origins, why they attract each other, and why they seem like a match made in heaven - or more accurately, made in hell.
What You Will Learn In This Episode:
- Why certain people only attract narcissists to their love life
- The role of the worthiness wounds in codependents' and in narcissists' behaviours
- How codependents can heal their emotional core wounds, and prevent themselves from attracting narcissists
Once a codependent identifies the core wound that triggers their protector parts to make them constantly give so they feel worthy or lovable, the chances are huge that they prevent those protector parts from acting on their behalf. With narcissists, on the other hand, this is almost impossible, since they'll never look at their worthiness wounds.
