About this episode
Today we talk about a pivotal moment in our relationship with a narcissist - what happens when they know we know? What is their reaction when we let them know we know who and what they are? Is it a good idea to let them know that? Let's find out.
What You Will Learn In This Episode:
- The similarity between starting point of narcissists and codependents
- How to release the legacy burden that we’ve got from our parents
- What happens when the protector parts cover the narcissist's true self
- The effects of highlighting a narcissist's inner wounds
When we confront a narcissist with the truth about who they are, we force them to face their younger wounded parts. That makes their system go into overdrive, and their protector parts become an army pointing all their guns at us. We must ignore that and focus on our recovery and healing OUR wounded parts.
