In this episode Brook and Tony discuss Negative Intimacy, a term used to describe how someone with a narcissistic personality keeps the other parent hooked in conflict by applying this often unconscious strategy in order control and punish them. It is a hard concept to understand because it makes no sense and does harm to the children by keeping them in the middle of the ongoing fight between the two parents. Brook and Tony discuss how this narcissistic attachment style can develop during childhood and become a pattern in adulthood.
