18. How the Narcissist Has You Addicted Like a Gambler & Listener Q&A

Send the host a message here!This week is one for the psychology buffs out there – we are going to be taking a look at how the narcissist has you addicted. The narc uses the functions of operant conditioning and its sidekick, intermittent reinforcement to do this. We will look at how these function in narcissistic and toxic relationships. Even though this may sound completely alien to you if you’ve never heard of either of these things – I can guarantee that you will have experienced this frequently in your narcissistic relationship.We will also see that the brain of someone with a gambling addiction acts almost identically to that of the brain of someone in a narcissistic relationship. I look forward to healing with you.
