from The Mental Healness Podcast · host Lee Hammock

What happens in the mind of a narcissist when they realize they’ve finally lost control? In this episode, Lee Hammock (Self-Aware Narcissist) reveals the three words that strike the most fear into a person with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD): "I am leaving."For most people, these words signify a breakup. For a narcissist, they signify the end of a power dynamic, the loss of supply, and the onset of "narcissistic injury." Lee breaks down why this specific phrase is so terrifying and how it often triggers the most desperate "Hoovering" attempts.In this episode, we explore:The Core Fear: Why the threat of abandonment is a narcissist's "kryptonite."The Power Shift: What happens to the dynamic when you stop being a source of supply.Manipulation Tactics: How narcissists use "Future Faking" and guilt to stop you from walking out the door.The "Discard" vs. Being Left: Why it’s different when you choose to go first.If you are looking for the strength to leave or trying to understand why your exit triggered such a massive reaction, this episode provides the perspective you need to stay strong.Connect with Lee:My Courses: https://courses.mentalhealness.net Healing Support Group: https://mentalhealness.thinkific.com/products/communities/thementalhealers1-on-1 Coaching Calls: https://mentalhealness1on1perspective.as.me/schedule/ec588030Follow on Instagram/TikTok: @mentalhealnesss
