Coping mechanisms like minimizing and denial often develop as a way to survive the narcissistic abuse. In this episode, we're unpacking some of the most complex coping mechanisms people develop when they’re stuck in a narcissistic relationship: rationalising the abuser’s behaviour, blaming themselves, and defending the narcissist.  constant chaos.
 These survival techniques are incredibly common but often misunderstood, leaving many people feeling confused, stuck, and isolated.
I dive deep into why these behaviours develop, how they protect us in the short term, and why they can ultimately hold us back from true healing. 
Understanding why these survival mechanisms develop is essential to making positive changes.
