State of Delusion

In today's podcast, I delve into the theme of distorted reality in relationships, particularly with individuals who exhibit Cluster B personality disorders, like narcissism. I share how these individuals manipulate perceptions through tactics such as gaslighting, creating false narratives that lead their partners to overlook abusive behaviors. Often, I find myself and others clinging to idealized memories from the beginning of the relationship.

Reflecting on my own experiences, I acknowledge the feelings of shame that arise from being manipulated and the importance of confronting this distortion for personal growth and understanding. I emphasize the need to recognize my role in these dynamics rather than solely placing blame on the abuser. Acceptance and responsibility are crucial steps toward healing.

I encourage self-reflection as a means to break the cycles of repeated relational issues, urging listeners to assess their contributions to relationships and seek clarity about their desires. Ultimately, I find purpose in sharing my journey through this podcast, hoping to guide others away from similar challenges.

Peace to you, now and always.
