The Family Dynamics Of Narcissistic Abuse
from No Visible Bruises · host Caroline Strawson
Today I’m talking about the family dynamics of narcissistic abuse, and the different roles that occur within a family. In particular, I want to talk about the scapegoat within the family when you have a narcissistic parent. What You Will Learn In This Episode: What is a scapegoat? Why narcissistic mothers are particularly harmful to a child The examples of scapegoating within a family How scapegoating affects a child’s beliefs about themselves Why narcissistic personality disorder cannot be cured How you can heal your children by healing your own codependency I'm a big believer that when you heal yourself you heal the next generation. So just because your children have a parent that is a narcissist does not mean that they will be a codependent or a narcissist. You can break the cycle of scapegoating, you can heal, and the reason I know that is because that's exactly what I did. Resources: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thriveafternarcissisticabuse
