Understanding Narcissistic Relationships: The Hidden Dynamics
Manage episode 426885531 series 3523527
In this episode, we delve into the intricacies of narcissistic traits and relationship dynamics, starting with the concept of trust and jealousy. The discussion highlights the paradox of narcissists not showing jealousy when their partner is socializing but becoming deeply affected if the relationship is threatened. This behavior is explained through the psychoanalytic concept of "affect block," a defense mechanism that masks true feelings. The episode also explores how narcissistic traits are linked to dismissive attachment styles developed from early caregiving experiences. This stance, while preserving autonomy, ultimately prevents meaningful connections, but can be addressed and prioritized in therapy to foster healthier relationships and emotional well-being.
