Inner Source - Healing from Toxic Abuse

29. Attention as Currency; Natural Attention vs Fake Attention


Listen Later

This episode is on the topic of attention.  Attention is currency in the context of toxic abuse. We explore the different kinds of attention that is given by or received from a narcissist and how it affects the recovery process. In this episode, the various forms of attention that any narcissist may give such as a love bombing is examined. 


We will also delve into the opposite end of the spectrum where the narcissist may withhold attention or use the silent treatment as a form of punishment. Additionally we will examine how the attention received from a narcissist can perpetuate abuse and impact healing. The concept of trauma bonding, where people become addicted to the highs and lows of narcissistic attention makes it challenging to break free from the cycle. 


This episode offers practical tips and strategies to help survivors of narcissistic abuse navigate through the healing process and regain control of their lives. Whether you are a survivor of narcissistic abuse or someone who wants to learn more about the topic join me as I uncover the different kinds of attention given by or received from a narcissist and explore ways to heal from toxic abuse.
