Golden Child: Will they become narcissistic? 

Being the "golden child" in a narcissistic family often comes with unspoken expectations and pressures. While this role may seem favorable, it can lead to significant emotional and psychological challenges in adulthood.

In this episode, we delve into the complexities of the golden child role, exploring how it fosters a sense of entitlement and impacts relationships, self-perception, and personal growth. We'll discuss:

• The origins of the golden child role in narcissistic family systems
• How constant praise and unrealistic expectations shape self-worth
• The struggle with empathy and authentic connections
• The journey toward self-awareness and healing

This conversation aims to shed light on the hidden burdens carried by those labeled as the golden child and offers insights into breaking free from these ingrained patterns.
