Summary
If you grew up feeling invisible and unworthy, and you do not feel like you know who you are, you may subconsciously seek a sense of worthiness by how well you can please others. Sadly, if you struggle with codependency, you are far more likely to attract someone with high narcissistic traits, who will exploit your need for approval and the need to feel seen through how well you can serve others.
In this episode, Lisa A. Romano helps us understand the dance between someone with high codependent traits and someone who is more on the narcissistic spectrum. The more we understand about our own traits, the greater mental and emotional skills we can develop to help us avoid falling into this toxic dance.
