The Covert Narcissism Podcast

The Terrifying Narcissistic Traits in Our Children


Listen Later

In this Q&A session with Renee Swanson and Eleanor Marks, we answer two questions from the Covert Narcissism Facebook Group.

How do you deal with the golden child and help them to unlearn concerning narcissistic traits without disparaging the other parent?
How do you maintain a relationship with said child when also trying to protect yourself and heal from the narcissistic abuse trauma?
 
These are tough questions that so many people in our world are struggling with. Whether a child is used as the golden child, the scapegoat, or some combination of the two, these kids do pick up some narcissistic traits of their own. This is a protective survival reaction to not feeling emotional or psychologically safe. Even in homes without a narcissistic parent, kids will still go through phases of not feeling safe to be themselves and thus pick up some narcissistic traits. This is especially true in the teenage years.
 
We address these questions in this episode. Thank you to our member for the questions and to everyone who is working to make our world a better place.
I wish you much peace on your journey of healing!
