Summary

Join Erin and her guests, as they delve into what it means to be a child of a narcissistic parent.  Each fortnightly episode is crammed full of honesty, humour and hope. Winning Tug of War is dependent on several factors, such as:  an equal distribution of strength, the readiness of both parties and pre-existing wounds or scars. As a child of narcissistic parents, there isn’t a referee handy to check and monitor the equality, readiness or limitations of both parties, which creates an emotional imbalance from the start. So much of this emotional tug of war just doesn’t make sense. Throughout the years, I have learned how to let go of the rope - to disengage - giving me time to reflect, change perspectives and to heal. It has made such a difference. Perhaps it is time for you to put down the rope and step away. I mean…we never asked to participate in this crazy game.
