Summary
This week we are talking about relationships after narcissistic abuse. But to talk about future relationships, we need to look at our past and what we learned about love when we were children.
What You Will Learn In This Episode:
- The three parts of our brain and what their roles are
- Where the belief that the world is a dangerous place comes from
- How to use the knowledge about how our mind works in order to empower ourselves
- The prominent role of attachment in our perception of what love is
- The connections between how we felt as children, and how we feel around the narcissist as adults
- How YOU can break the cycle of narcissistic abuse
To ensure a healthy and lasting new relationship, we need to do some inner work, identify our blueprint of what love and connection are, and work on it. If we don't address it, we are at risk of repeating this inter-generational trauma, and possibly passing it onto the next generations.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the narcissistic abuse recovery podcast. I'm Caroline Stawson and I'll be sharing with you |
| 0:09.2 | awareness, understanding and education about the devastating effects of narcissistic abuse to help you thrive. |
| 0:16.8 | I want you to know that I've been exactly where you are now and I believe you. |
| 0:21.4 | And this show is all about taking you from trauma to transformation. |
| 0:30.2 | So in today's episode, I want to talk to you about what happens with your next relationship post the narcissist. And that can be whether or not this was |
| 0:40.9 | your mother or father that's the narcissist in your life. It could be a friend or a coworker or indeed |
| 0:46.7 | your partner. In fact, I probably have the majority of messages coming through about dating |
| 0:52.7 | again. How do I get involved in a relationship with |
| 0:55.6 | somebody again? How am I going to trust anybody? And I want to talk to you a little bit in |
| 1:00.6 | today's episode about attachment really and what effect that then has on the types of relationships |
| 1:08.5 | we then go on and have as an adult. So if we think about our |
| 1:14.1 | relationship with the narcissist, whether you're still in that relationship or whether you've come |
| 1:18.8 | out of that or you have set some boundaries, you've got no contact or extreme modified contact, |
| 1:24.1 | whether that be a parent or a partner or whomever it is. That next relationship, |
| 1:30.3 | if you haven't done that deep inner work, you will find that there will be lots and lots of |
| 1:36.7 | similarities. So when we are born and we come into this world, we are these little babies that |
| 1:42.9 | are pretty helpless and we're one of the only mammals |
| 1:45.3 | actually that are so reliant upon our parents or caregivers to actually feed us, clothe us. |
| 1:51.9 | You know, think of lots of other animals that are in the wild. You know, many can even walk |
| 1:55.3 | within minutes of being born. And for us, it obviously takes a lot longer as human beings. So when we come into |
