Unconditional Love and Unconditional Support (Ep 55) - They Are Not One and the Same
Unconditional Love and Unconditional Support- They are not one and the same Narcissists can be extremely charming, nice, apologetic, and cooperative- as long as circumstances and other people are providing them with exactly what they believe they are entitled to, without any conditions. Through my years of counseling, I have met with hundreds of clinically narcissistic, Biblically foolish individuals who were masters at articulating false narratives of wanting to work on themselves and their relationships, who were experts at feigning contrition, who were pros at pretending to be repentent, changed people during their relationship counseling sessions, or who were whizzes at convincing others that they were helpless, powerless victims of circumstance. Listen and learn how to tell the difference between unconditional love and unconditional support. Thanks for listening!
