WHY THEY WANT THE CHASE: How Pursuing a Narcissist Validates the Ab*se

from The Mental Healness Podcast · host Lee Hammock

"If I’m still chasing, they must be worth it... right?"Wrong. As a self-aware narcissist, I’m telling you the truth about what happens in our heads when you pursue us after we’ve treated you like trash. To you, the chase is an act of love. To us, the chase is a "Get Out of Jail Free" card.When you chase a narcissist, you aren't showing them your value; you are showing them that their behavior has no consequences. Today, we are breaking down the "Forgiveness Trap" and why your silence is the only thing that actually forces a narcissist to face reality.IN THIS LIVE, WE DISCUSS:The Forgiveness Fallacy: Why chasing tells the narcissist that everything they did was "okay."The Ego Boost: How the chase fuels the narcissist's sense of superiority.The Power Shift: How you lose your leverage the moment you try to "fix" what they broke.Breaking the Cycle: How to stop the "chase reflex" and reclaim your dignity.Stop giving them the validation they didn't earn.Connect with Lee:My Courses: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://courses.mentalhealness.net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 1-on-1 Coaching Calls: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://link.me/mentalhealness⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠All My Link: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://beacons.page/mentalhealness ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow on Instagram/TikTok: @mentalhealnesssIf this episode helped you gain clarity, please leave a 5-star review on Spotify!
