Dr BB continues to educate audience on the Four Phases (Cycle) of Narcissistic Abuse: 1) Idealize, Honeymoon or Love Bombing; 2) Devalue or Demean; 3) Discard; and 4) Hoover Maneuver.

Audience learns the narcissist's agenda in each of the phases and how their behaviours and manipulation impact on suvivors.

If you discover you are experiencing a narcissistic abusive relationship, no matter who they are: Good friend, spouse, family member, romantic partner, boss, employees, etc.  The best way to manage the relationship (if you so choose to stay) is: 1) Not to take it personally, and 2) Draw and establish strong boundaries.

Narcissists are characteristically obtuse, however, they do have a learning curve.  So establish strong boundaries with them is vital for your own mental health if you choose to stay in contact with them.

It is critical for us to learn about EMS - Early Maladaptive Schemas that we may have developed in childhood.  They consist of patterns with certain thoughts which then creates uncomfortable feelings, which then drive unhealthy behaviours so as to get away from these challenges.  Unfortuantely, these patterns get wired together in the subconscious brain, and they continued to play out in adulthood --- Schemas are like 'habit loops', until you are aware of them, acknoweldge and dissolve them.

Come join Dr BB and see if you have any of her mentioned EMS in this episode.

The origin of schemas was first introduced in 1923 by developmental psychologist Jean Piaget.  He suggested that during cognitive deveolpment we utilized schemas to help us learn, understand and manage the world around us.  Dr BB further explains Piaget's idea that different schemas are supposed to be mentally applied in appropriate situations to help people both comprehend and interpret information.  However,  if not applied appropriately, and more importantly, if we are not aware of our own prejudices, or maladaptive schemas, the danger is they can very well hinder the way we perceive others and the world.
