The nature of a narcissistic relationship is the absolute abolishment of psychological safety. You are not, because they are going in there to weaken you, to strengthen themselves. That was always the relationship, no matter what the nature of the relationship was.

#AntagonisticPersonalityStyles #DrRamani #Narcissism #PsychologicalSafety #Safety #SelfWorthPeople who are narcissistic have very little self-awareness. They have very little, what we call, self reflective capacity. They don’t have that ability to go inward and think about how they affect other people, which is a core part of empathy. So when it comes down to it, you have to swallow the bitter pill which is: They actually really don’t care. But the worst part is, they think they do.

#AntagonisticPersonalityStyles #DrRamani #Narcissism #SelfAwareness #SelfReflection #VariableEmpathyVerbal abuse is the use of language to shame, scare or hurt another. Dysfunctional parents routinely use name-calling, sarcasm, and destructive criticism to overpower and control their children. Verbal abuse is as commonplace in the American family as homework and table manners. It is modeled as socially acceptable in almost every sitcom on television.

Fully feeling people are also rewarded with increasing richness in their relationships – both with themselves and with others. Love manifests as a palpable warmth and excitement when it is grounded in the heart and body by feeling. Emotional love is so much more profound than the lightweight intellectual experiences of thought-bound people for whom love is often only an ideal, a dream, or a hungry expectation.

Neuroception precedes perception. Story follows state. Through a polyvagal framework, the important question “What happened?” is explored not to document the details of an event but to learn about the autonomic response. The clues to a client’s present-time suffering can be found in their autonomic response history.
