Save Your Sanity - Help for Toxic Relationships episodes

  • What's Narcissistic? What's Self-Centered,? What's Healthy?

    The term "narcissistic" is used too commonly now, in my opinion. When people even talk about themselves a little too much for your liking, you may label it "narcissistic."


    It's important to be able to tell the differences among people who are narcissistic, people who are self-centered, and those who are healthy and maybe having a bad day. Why? Because they require different responses.


    Both narcissistic and self-centered people talk about themselves more than most folks are comfortable with, for sure. But one is truly empathic, and one is not. Bets? One has a regard for others, the other does not. Hmmm....I wonder which?


    A person doesn't need to be diagnosable to have narcissistic tendencies that make them difficult, if not nearly impossible, to want to live with. If you've experienced that, you may fear the same when you meet a self-centered person. That's where today's distinctions can help you greatly.



    Big hugs!

  • The SHAME Of It All: Narcissistic, Over-Nurturing Or Needy?

    Shame is a painful emotion caused by recognizing guilt, shortcomings or impropriety, and the basis for narcissistic, over-nurturing, and needy behaviors. SO important to recognize these to understand the dynamics and how you may be caught by the cycle of shame in toxic relationships with partners and parents. 


    Things happen when you're little and you don't realize what's becoming part of you. Being shamed at an early age by the people who were supposed to protect you makes a huge impact on you!


    #Narcissists take shape then, and so do many people who are attracted to them--or at least, taken in by them.


    This is NEED-TO-KNOW information. It can help you understand decisions you need to make that will change the quality of your life.


    Big hugs!

    Rhoberta

    • What happens when you were shamed as a child
    • Early choices you make in response to being shamed
    • How shame affects your attachment style in adult relationships
    • Two responses to deep shame...poles apart

  • Narcissistic Folks: Unable Or Unwilling To Empathize?

    Lack of empathy in one partner creates a deficit that the other partner cannot fill...no matter how hard one tries!

    Learn more about the differences in functioning, and the decisions #Hijackals and other narcissistic people make about demonstrating empathy. Eye-opening! 


    Empathy is the ability to identify what someone is thinking or feeling, and then to be able to respond to THEIR thoughts and feelings with an appropriate response. Can the person you have in mind do this? When do they do this? What's up when they do this?


    #Hijackals are notoriously self-focused and self-referential. Everything revolves around them in a world that works for them, right?


    How they express, use, and manipulate by the use of empathy, or empathy like, patterns is important to recognize. I think it will be clear after you listen to this episode.


    Big hugs!

    Rhoberta


    HIGHLIGHTS OF TODAY'S EPISODE:

    • Do narcissistic people like #Hijackals have empathy?
    • How narcissists use empathy
    • How you can be fooled--lulled, even--into believing a Hijackal has empathy
    • What's required to have empathy
    • How narcissistic, psychopathic, and sociopathic people use empathy for their own ends
    • What to watch for now that you know how you may be being manipulated

  • Isolation: A Nasty Tactic of Coercive Control

    When you are first with a #Hijackal, you are flattered that they want you all to themselves. You're delighted that they want to be with you, and "can't get enough of you." That's the normal joy of a new relationship.


    Then, when you're with a toxic person, a #Hijackal, a #narcissist, there comes a moment when you find yourself isolated, alone, and marginalized. You look around and you have been separated from your family and friends.


    #Hijackals are happy then. You're not and in this episode, I'm giving you clear insight into how narcissistic people manipulate you into that isolation. It's usually gradual, and you don't realize what the final result will be. You're still trying to compromise and accommodate.


    The #Hijackal has another plan, and it involves cutting you off from as much support as possible. Nasty!


    Once you clearly see these manipulations, you can begin to put an end to it--one way or another.


    Big hugs!

    Rhoberta

  • The Differences Between Well-Formed vs Badly-Formed Love GUEST: Dr. Gary Salyer

    Are you suffering as a result of what Dr. Gary Salyer calls "badly-formed love?"

    You could be. Suffering is part of it, for sure. And, so much more.

    Do you know what well-formed love is? Have you seen it when you were growing up, or created it as an adult? Were you comfortable with it?


    BIG QUESTIONS!


    Dr. Gary Salyer has been my guest on Save Your Sanity before, and we talked about Trauma-Bonding. He was also on my Emotional Savvy podcast and we talked in-depth about Attachment Theory and Styles. (And, P.S. there are still over 150 episodes available to listen to even though I don't do it anymore.)


    So much wisdom, great insights, and a wicked sense of humor, too. Enjoy!


    Big hugs,

    Rhoberta


    HIGHLIGHTS OF TODAY'S EPISODE:

    • What well-formed love is
    • Where you form the basis for badly-formed love
    • What is reasonable to expert from a "loving relationship"
    • What might skew or warp your ideas of what a healthy relationship is
    • What Dr, Gary Salyer means by "bonded to misery"
    • The dysfunctional bond when love is mixed with suffering


    GUEST: DR. GARY SALYER


    Based on a field of study called Attachment Theory, the science of intimate relationships, Dr. Salyer’s insights have a profound and often times immediate impact. As a transformational relationship mentor, he helps people re-write the rules for love in their brains.


    After Dr. Gary Salyer’s second marriage crumbled he felt like an utter, complete failure. Rather than give in, he dedicated himself to doing deep research about all things love. He read, researched, furthered his education in the field, talked to experts and to people he loved. Most of all he did the deep transformation work that unlocked his heart and released his soul to love as he had always imagined.

    Love and how to make it lasting – became his life’s highest calling—In so doing, he has developed a powerful and effective methodology to make it “Safe to Love Again”


    GIFT FOR YOU: Not at this time.

  • Intimidation and Coercive Control: How and Why It's Holding You Hostage - Dr. Rhoberta Shaler

    You're worn, torn, and put down. You're exhausting in every way. The #narcissist, the #Hijackal, see that as an accomplishment.

    Hijackals are intimidating. They expect you to comply with their wishes, wants, demands, and supposed needs.


    #Hijackals threaten you. They want to instill fear and make you dependent on them, all the while complaining that you are, right?


    It's SO important that you recognize the ways--small and large--that emotional abusers intimidate you, or could intimidate you. Sometimes, their negative behavior starts in small ways, and grows to ultimate control. Or, at least, that's their plan. This episode will give you the insights to see what's up, and why you may be tolerating it. AND, the first steps to saying "NO!" to it in small, internal ways to start.


    Hopefully, after listening, you'll begin to see the need to start some internal sifting and sorting in preparation for a big change.


    Big hugs!

    Rhoberta

  • Self-Centered, Selfish Or Narcissistic? GUEST: Dr. Laura Dabney

    There can be a razor's edge difference between a self-centered person and a narcissistic one.

    Does it really matter if you know when you are dealing with them?


    Dr. Laura Dabney offers her experience as a psychiatrist dealing with some of the most difficult cases in the field. Her insights will help you more deeply understand those differences between a generally self-centered person, and a truly narcissistic one.


    I've often spoken about "healthy selfishness" and we continue that conversation. Where are the limits? When does it become unhealthy? So many questions that help you understand the relationship you may have with a partner, parent, sibling, or adult child.


    Oh, and bright, high-performing folks. Are they more likely to have narcissistic tendencies?


    Get answers today, here, now.


    Big hugs,

    Rhoberta


    HIGHLIGHTS OF TODAY'S EPISODE:

    • Differences between healthy selfishness and unhealthy narcissism
    • Why high-achieving folks often walk a fine line between self-centeredness and narcissism
    • How to find a balance between being healthily driven and engaged and unhealthy, looking for power
    • Your rights to set boundaries especially against aggression
    • What about passive-aggressive tendencies?
    • Will toxic people respect your boundaries?

    GUEST: DR. LAURA DABNEY


    Laura Dabney, MD has made a career of taking on psychiatry’s toughest challenges from treating complex, combined medical and psychological conditions, to ensuring the absolute privacy of powerful, high-profile patients. Dr. Dabney has, for decades, helped her patients change their lives for the better. And they recognize her for it. Dr. Dabney’s patients come for many reasons: depression and anxiety, recent break-ups or a lifetime of toxic relationships. Yet, despite the problems that brought them through her door, they describe her in the same terms again and again, calling her warm, knowledgeable, and committed to their success.


    GIFT FOR YOU: Not at this time.

  • Boomeranging: How To Leave and Stay Gone!

    It's common for folks to desperately find their way to get away from a toxic relationship. Then, the doubts start, as well as the pleading and promises from a toxic spouse.

    You'll need these helpful insights into how to plan to leave so that you won't give in to the temptation to return. And, if you have left, what to do when you want to go running back to the abuse.


    Yes, you're leaving a toxic person, a #Hijackal, because they are emotionally abusive. You may not want to think of it as abuse, but that's what it is.


    Oxford dictionary:

    1. abuse: use to bad effect or for a bad purpose; misuse. pervert, take advantage of
    2. treat a person with cruelty or violence, especially regularly or repeatedly


    Emotional abuse is difficult to see when it's happening to you, but you sure know how it feels, right? That's what you've walking--or running--away from. Remember that when you're tempted to return.


    In this episode, I give you eight things you might be telling yourself to convince yourself to go back once you've left, and seven things you can do to remind yourself why you will not go back. I hope they help you.


    Big hugs!

    Rhoberta

    • How to stop the cycle of leaving and returning to a #narcissist, a #Hijackal, an #abuser

    • How to keep moving forward once you've left a toxic relationship
    • 8 reasons you give yourself for going back to a toxic relationship
    • 7 things to do to set yourself straight and not go back
