In this episode, we continue our discussion on "narcissistic psychic retreats," focusing on how individuals with narcissistic tendencies often escape into a fantasy world where their needs are instantly met. We explore how feelings of anger and judgment can cover up deeper vulnerabilities and experiences of loss. By examining a real-life example, we illustrate how these emotional defenses operate and their impact on relationships. The conversation emphasizes the importance of staying connected with painful emotions rather than retreating, as recognizing these moments can lead to healthier interactions. Ultimately, we share practical strategies for breaking free from the retreat.
