Debrief | Intermittent Reinforcement, Identity Erosion, and Pierre’s Story

from Narcissist Apocalypse: Patterns of Abuse · host Abuse Survivor Network

In this episode of Narcissist Apocalypse, Brandon talks about the psychological abuse in Pierre’s story and how intermittent reinforcement, triangulation, future faking, and identity erosion kept him stuck in a relationship that was slowly breaking him down. This is a deep dive into the fear of becoming the bad guy, the obligation to hold everything together, the guilt of never feeling like you are doing enough, and the shame that can make you believe you are the problem. It’s a look at how psychological manipulation can take a caring, reflective person and turn their empathy against them.
