Why You Attract Narcissists (And How to Stop)

In this episode of Soul Recovery (Therapy Podcast), we break down how narcissistic patterns are formed and why they often start in early family dynamics. We explore how emotional absence, unmet needs, or growing up around narcissistic behaviors can shape a child into people-pleasing, over-accommodating, or hyper-aware of others. These patterns don’t stay in childhood. They often carry into adult relationships, creating familiar but unhealthy dynamics. This conversation helps you recognize the signs, understand where these patterns come from, and begin the process of breaking them. Healing starts with awareness, but it continues with learning how to reconnect with yourself, set boundaries, and shift the roles you’ve been conditioned to play. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the same relationship patterns, this episode gives you the language and clarity to start changing them. #narcissism #narcissisticabuse #traumahealing #relationshippatterns #selfawareness #peoplepleasing #healingjourney #mentalhealth #boundaries #innerchildhealing New episodes of Soul Recovery explore trauma, regulation, relationships, and the patterns that shape our lives weekly right here @soulrecoverypodcast.
