Summary

Pre-order my NEW book here: http://carolinestrawson.com/pre-order

 

Celebrities, just like regular people, sometimes face abusive relationships with narcissists. In this episode, I'll explore how these high-profile individuals cope with such challenges and heal from their emotional wounds. Drawing from my experience working with celebrities, I'll share valuable insights into their coping mechanisms and the lessons we can all learn from their experiences.

 

In this episode, we will explore:

  • Why abusive relationships don’t end when the abuse first starts
  • The impact fame and money has on individuals suffering abuse
  • How celebrities tend to mask their pain instead of heal

 

I'll explore the reasons behind celebrities' struggles with alcohol or drug abuse, as well as the common tendency among all of us, including celebrities, to seek ways to mask our pain instead of addressing it directly. It's crucial to remember that we can't fully understand someone else's experiences, so we should avoid passing judgment on their relationships. However, we can draw valuable lessons from high-profile abusive relationships to aid in our own healing journeys. Let's focus on using these insights to facilitate personal growth and healing.

1:12.4

So in today's episode, I really want to talk to you about narcissism and celebrities.

1:19.0

I have worked with a number of celebrities now, of which I cannot name because of NDAs that I have signed.

1:26.6

But we tend to think of celebrities as

1:30.1

invincible up until we see something bad that has happened. And I've worked with celebrities

1:36.4

who have been in relationships with narcissists. So they are either the celebrity and they're

1:42.5

in a relationship with somebody else.

1:45.3

But because there's celebrity and all eyes on them, they feel like they have to portray

themselves a certain way and they are seen as these strong men and women so they're

1:56.8

unable to show any vulnerability.

1:59.0

Equally, I've also worked with a number of people whose partners

2:03.6

or ex-partners are celebrities as well. And the problem that many of these people have found

2:10.2

that I have worked with is the public love the other person. They really love this person that the people I have worked with knows that they
