The School of Greatness · The Childhood Question That's Secretly Running Your Life | Aaron Doughty · 27 Jul 2026 podcast

Because a lot of times, empaths or people that attract narcissists, they get stuck in the story.

Like, I am an empath and I feel people's emotions and they are controlling narcissistic vampires.

But not that that might not be true, but the key is like, okay, but that story, it might give you payoffs that justify childhood.

It'll keep you stuck unless you actually do something about it.

That might mean seeing, hearing, soothing, nurture the inner child part of you that is trying to get validation and approval from that person.

And give it to yourself.

And that might mean standing up for yourself and developing a new relationship to tension.

So the narcissistic controlling person is in your life to help you learn how to stand inside of yourself

and to not need to engage with that energy.

And that's a perfect mirror for someone that's helping you to learn how to stand up for yourself.

Now, it doesn't mean you need to stay in it and to stay in some abusive relationship by any means, but to take ownership of the pattern and recognize that when there's red flags there, there's something that normally the healthy part of you would see that would say no, but you see it and you tolerate it.

And the reason you might tolerate it is because it feels familiar in childhood.

And subconsciously you're hoping to get something from it that can close the loop from childhood.

Yeah.

Fix it.

You're the only, it's also codependency sometimes because who else is going to be so present for the narcissistic controlling person, you know?

So like they'll need you and it just, that, that pattern just might feel familiar.

You normally, normally the first thing that will happen is certain relationships in your life will start to reform because the people pleaser part of you or the self independent, self reliant part of you, all of a sudden you relate to yourself differently now.

And now it's like a whole new world.
