21: Why I Hate The Five Love Languages

from A Life, Folded Hosted by Lainey Cathan

Narcissists and other unhealthy partners can take the most helpful and benign concepts and weaponize them to manipulate, control, and devalue. This episode explores how my ex-husband used the book The Five Love Languages to push his self-serving agenda. In the guise of his self-appointed "gifts of service", he completely dismissed my actual, communicated needs. This left me feeling worthless and unlovable. #alifefolded #weaponized #narcissist #narcissisticabuseawareness #narcissisticabusesurvivor #narcissisticabuserecovery #betrayaltrauma #betrayaltraumarecovery
