In this Moment episode of 'Awaken Her,' I dive deeper into how childhood experiences with critical and emotionally neglectful parents can lead to patterns of seeking validation and love through narcissistic relationships in adulthood. It explains the concept of trauma bonds, the cycle of abuse, and how familiar abusive dynamics can be mistakenly perceived as love. The discussion clarifies how these patterns are deeply ingrained from childhood, resulting in adults who perpetuate these unhealthy relationships, constantly seeking approval and safety.00:00 Understanding Childhood Emotional Neglect01:47 The Familiarity of Narcissistic Relationships03:14 The Cycle of Abuse and Trauma Bonds05:05 Distorted Perceptions of Love05:49 The Impact of Childhood Experiences on Adult Relationships08:38 Reenacting Childhood Patterns in AdulthoodSend us a Text Message to let us know what you thought of this episode!________________________Corissa is a Holistic Trauma-Informed Coach & Narcissistic Abuse Specialist™ who empowers women after they’ve endured narcissist trauma to rediscover who they are, reclaim their power, and find the clarity and courage to move forward and live a life they love.
