How to Heal from a Destructive Narcissistic Relationship | Epi 143

In another part of my conversation with Dan Neuharth, we move from theory into the clinical room. Using a real case example, we unpack what the actual healing process looks like when someone is caught in regression, anger, and the victim posture within a destructive narcissistic relationship.

We explore how anger can temporarily stabilize a fragile sense of self while also blocking mourning, how feelings of abandonment are often reactivated rather than newly created, and how therapy gently shifts the patient from reenacting old dynamics to working through them.
